I start up the game, and can fly maybe 1 minute or fiddle with the setings and then my system completly freezes up! It´s really getting anoying. i stopped trying after 5 boot-ups

Here are my specs:

CPU: i7 950 @ 3.07GHz
RAM: 12 GB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 5970 2GB in CrossFire ( SLI )
DirectX 10



I updated all relevant computer files,..video drivers, direct x, etc.



Any ideas??

    Water cooled or fan cooled. If the latter overheating is likely.

    (you can check your temp in ati catalyst)

    Also you are running a crossfire, be sure you have a good PSU (both in quality and high wattage)
