GPU overheating

Published on Monday, November 19, 2018 By w4vel In Star Control Tech Support

Hello there, 

So this is the issue while playing this game, even lowering the texture and shadow details my system keeps heating up. Only 5 minutes after starting the game my gpu goes from 60cº to 90 ~ 95cº and after that my computer restarts.

And this happens only with the Star Control: Origins. Can someone give me some light over this ? 

Thanks.

 

My system:

FX-8350 Stock Clock 4.0ghz (or 4.2ghz while in turbo mode )

AMD R9 290X XFX

Asrock 990fx Fatality

32GB RAM DDR3 1666mhz

OCZ 750w power supply

A shitty hard drive from 10 years ago 

Windows 10 PRO

Star Control Origins GOG version:  V1.10.54010

 

 

Edit:

Ah yes, all drivers updated and ready to go.
