Need for Speed Shift and BSOD?
I have had this problem over a month now and i'm not sure why it arose out of the blue. I have tried reinstalling, deleting config files in my documents, cleaning the registry, updating video drivers, deleting and updating physx. After all this during races often after 5-10 mins of racing the system locks up with looping sound and no signal to the screen. Sometimes it restarts and other times i have to do it manually. Now B4 anyone's says its my PC, I've played Dirt2, Assassins Creed Brotherhood, Black OPS all on MAX settings(HD resolutions) and have never experienced this problem ever with these games. I'm guessing EA screwed up in the coding. >_<
PC specs:
PSU: OCZ MODXSTREAM-PRO 700W

If it only happens in Need for Speed and not any of the other games, then it's because EA -- as usual -- screwed something up. I get some odd BSODs playing The Witcher 2, but not any other games myself; best you can do is to make sure your heatsinks are free of dust and generally give the game as few reasons to crash as possible.
By the way, how's that 4870 working for you in the summer? I'll bet your air conditioner needs to work double time when you play games on it. ;)
