Well, actually i think loading a map completely overheats my computer. Fan goes crazy and then everything goes to hell. Could play normally before the latest patch(es).

Hm.. you may one check that. A game shouldnt be able to push hardware that hard.
Look at drivers and see if theres no dust in the filters or something.
There's nothing wrong with my hardware. Fuck...even BF3 runs without any problems ...and i never had problems before. Just since the last 2 patches maybe ...

Only kernel mode stuff can push hardware into overheating. Games do not fall in that cattegory.
While it is possible a game pushes a driver wrong, so the driver causes a card to overheat.. technicly the driver is also at fault.
So... no help at all? All my drivers are up-to-date. Only thing that changed: NS2.
You've quickly ruled out its not your hardware (BF3 does not stress out a computer more than NS2 btw) and obviously don't wish to troubleshoot that, and there's no information you have provided like logs or errors or how the computer crashes or your system specs despite @dc_darkling asking... so i don't know how we can help further?

How does it crash? Program freezes, black screen, blue screen?
Any error messages or weird sounds?
Mods?
If your whole pc crashes, check hardware and drivers. usermode stuff like games can not crash a complete os.

It should say 'no way' rather then 'ok'.
But glad it worked for you.
