can my computer survive this?

[Deleted]

this is copy pasta from Can you run it. would my computer die if I ran the game anyway and played it for 6 hours straight? or would it survive?

the game we are talking about here is Call of Duty: Black Ops

Not sure why your PC would die after only 6 hours of gaming. WoW is hardly as demanding as say a stress test or anything of the sort and manufacturers make their hardware to last longer than 6 hours rofl.

Once again... Hardware is made to last years, not hours

Laptops aren't meant for 6h gaming sessions. It probably will not die, but might overheat shutdown.

Regardless, running WoW on such low specs will be borderline masochism.

is it possible to make anything of your hardware work as cpu/gpu? I know it's possible to make 8GB of your harddrive into/work as 8GB of ram

While you can load stuff to pagefile, it's not nearly as fast as RAM. Not sure what else could act as a CPU or GPU lol.

No. Unless you count in money. That will fix your CPU/GPU issues.

Even if your BLOCKOPS will run, i hardly suspect this wont be fun.
You computer will NOT die, there are mechnism in place to prevent that. But i cant predict how long you will be able to play until those mechanism start to kick in.

You can give it a try but i guess you will stop it quite fast.

well on to topic as it was not wow but black ops the spec requirements are for, would my computer overheat fast,? my computer shuts down at 90* when playing wow it is mostly at 80* would black ops require so much more? or should I just screw the shit and buy black ops for my playstation3 instead?

Why the heck would black ops kill your computer...

Can make your gpu work as cpu in a way in some cases... other than that, no.
