(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I've had this new pc for a bit over a month, and in the first week I started trying out Dead Island (yew Steam sales) and after playing for a bit, my monitor just goes to standby, my pc sounds like its still running but the monitor is just in sleep mode. I have to reset my computer to get it working again (unless I find a solution) so I stopped playing Dead Island and played heaps of other games (I had played Skyrim and LoL before that with no issues) and finished both Batman games, played more Skyrim etc, no issues.
I bought Farcry 3 and finally started playing it, about 2 hours in boom game shuts off mid mission, it saves thankfully but its annoying as hell. Last night stayed up to try and finish it, was on like the final mission, game shuts off so I just go to sleep, wake up today ready to finish it and it loads me back about 4 hours as it didn't save when it shut off.

Anyone happen to know a solution or at least explain what is happening? I'm going to call the place I bought it from but don't want to bother as he has the thickest accent possible, will rep for any help, thanks
