Wow this is the funniest thread I have ever come across.
Firstly realize Madden , is using a engine from 2001 , EAsports is crappy and picky, Why dont you play madden and do nothing else. Then you can try playing another game and doing another task in the background... GL,
This has nothing to do with your PC believe me! , Once you play another game a true DX9 game and do your converting at same time and it doesnt crash or shutdown, u will see my point.
Dont do it.. Madden is dangerous ,, EAsports is dangerous! , If your gonna play a game whos engine is 8 years old , you better believe its gonna make your PC shutdown or crash while your doing something else on top of that. At the time Madden was made and the engine never updated there were no dual core CPU's or whatever. Believe Madden is being picky, quit stressing about it. I know you love football, as we all do, but trust me on this one. Madden is picky, Once you play another game and the problem doesn't happen u know its a Madden issue. soo GL<
