Cabal + Netflix = BSOD?

Maybe it's full of dust

No I take it apart pretty regularly to clean it out.

Update your driver?, NVidia just came out with a new beta driver 337.50 for the 600 and 700 chipset

I can play just about any game with maxed out settings and watch videos with MPC at the same time without lag on either side... except Cabal... Which causes MPC to crash instantly.

I feel like this is another one of the scenarios where EST is just a bad software developer.

Must be your CPU. I play AC IV with no problems on my laptop. Granted it's a pretty new and costly laptop. Naive people always asking me, "Is that an alienware" as if alienware is any good lol. Dell is crap now. When are people going do realize that? It's a Toshiba Qosmio.

Try using MSI Afterburner to keep track of your gpu and cpu temps and see which one is causing that issue. Might be as the CptnHowdy said, it simply is overheating it. Not necessarily overtaxing.

I can play Assassin's Creed fine... it just is a poorly optimized port from the consoles. So it's hard on the CPU.
