    Hello,
    as I said in the title my Game sometimes crashes to the point where both of my monitors turn black and not even ctrl+alt+del helps. After I restart my PC I can reconnect to the game but I dont see units or buildings. Can someone help me out?

    There is a know bug with reconnect. It should be fixed with the next patch. We are testing this fix in the PTE.

    The crash sounds like a system issue, the game certainly doesnt normally do that kind of crash. Can you post your dxdiag?
    The visibility issue after a reconnect is a known bug that probably will be fixed within this week.
    Until then you can find a vision hotfix mod on pamm.

    hmm your drivers look pretty up to date and you have enough ram and stuff.
    You have SLI if I understand this correctly?
    Can you try to disable SLI and see if the system is stable with that? Maybe the graphicscard are getting too hot and emergency shutdown.
    Using a tool like gpu-z to monitor the temperature would help to tell if that happens.
    A complete blackscreen that prevents you from even pressing ctrl+alt+del is likely to be some hardware issue.

    ah maybe you have 2 screens on one GTX 770?
    Either way check the temperatures. I once had an AMD card that overheated and showed that through switching of the screens completely once a certain temperature was reached.
    Can you run some test like furmark for a while to check for temps and stability?

    If it can put load on the gpu and show the temperature probably yes.

    Okay i tried as u said but the monitors didnt shut down, the GPU core clock just went down when the temperature reached 100°C.

    that is unhealthy hot. I would guess that if you play for a longer time the card is reaching even higher temperatures and decides that it rather shows a black screen instead of breaking forever.
