One of the most common graphics card problems, which can vary from game to game (yes, even at high settings - graphics drivers are fickle things) is overheating. In order to rule this out (and make sure you don't have to pay for a new graphics card), you need more proof than running other games at high settings. If none of this works, I wouldn't be surprised if your graphics card fails within a short period of time.Īs other answers have suggested, this kind of error is most often caused by a physical hardware problem. Remember that the published hardware requirements for a game is often a minimum or recommended, not what's needed for the maximum settings. Your graphics card might not meet the requirements for the highest settings. It is in general good to use trial and error with your video settings.
