Bug Title: 'Black Screen' crash
Brief Description of Bug: After about 5 minutes of play the game crashes my computer. Hard reset necessary.
Reproducable? Yes
Reproduction Method: Play the game for 5 minutes...
Description:
The bug / problem is simple. Within about 5 minutes of starting up Sir I get a hard crash. Screen goes blank, sound loops. A hard reset (power off and on) is required. Soft reset POSTs ok but screens remain dead.
The crash occurs with both the 64 and 32 bit binaries. The crash occurs regardless of graphics settings. All other Unity games (all other games for that matter) are stable on my system.
The crash only occurs during the main menu or gameplay. Never during the 'island creation' process.
Things I've tried so far:
I assumed, given the type of crash, that this was a hardware issue to start with. After putting my computer through a series of tests, I can't find anything obvious. My system isn't ovcerclocked and is stable at all other times.
I've tried the usual such as disabling Anti Virus and firewall.
A little while back I had an issue that I diagnosed as my SSD (needed a frimware update, all ok now) and in the process ran memtest and HDD checks; all is ok there. I've tested video RAM and a couple of GPU 'stress tests' and it's all stable.
Sir puts a fairly heavy load on the card, reporting 97-100% usage, but temperatures remain within what I get for most GPU heavy games.
Not being able to locate any hardware fault, I guess Sir isn't playing nice with my setup:
System config (nothing is overclocked):
i5 2500k @ 3.30 GHz
8GB RAM
Sapphire Radoen HD6950 2GB (Using current drivers, 13.4)
Gigabyte Z68-AP-D3 Motherboard
Windows 7 x64
My DxDiag

I think i had this once befor when i was messing mith CCC (AMD) game profiles. I have a hunch that it might have something to do with Dual GPU cards..
