Title: Machinarium crash
Post by: strike_noir on October 21, 2009, 06:16:52 am
Greeting gamers

Hi I've been playing this game since yesterday, and I'm astonished by the game's quality graphics, creative puzzles and matching musics. There's never been a point and click game as good as Machinarium.

Currently I'm at the big clock puzzle.

In the level I'm experiencing crashes, I can't reproduce the crash. But when it happened the computer just shutdown itself. This happened quite often. I've tried updating my DirectX to release august 2009 and my Adobe Flash plugin to version 10.0.32.18 with no luck.

Are there anyone experiencing the same issue?

Btw I'm using Dell Inspiron 1525, Windows XP SP2

Oooo.  This doesn't sound good.  Shut downs are usually an overheating issue.
Also  it appears to be a known issue with this model... e.g., http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-71233-dell-inspiron-1525-over-heats-shuts-down (http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-71233-dell-inspiron-1525-over-heats-shuts-down)

Have you ever had this problem before with your laptop?
