need for speed keeps freezing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gust_nul]

hey so i got this game and it keeps freezing, and sticking, it eventually gets to the stage i have to turn my pc off by the switch!!

Pc specs= 2Ghz sempron 2800
512MB DDR
Radeon 128mb

All drivers are up to date and i have tried the patch from EA games and its still freezing

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY?!
Thanks

maybe your system is overheating.

512MB RAM is not alot for gaming, and the game probably needs 128MB RAM minimum.


Could you give us more detail, such as the name of the need for speed game?

its most wanted
And what do i do to prevent overheating?

hello?!?!?!

 

[talldude123]

sorry...

to make it run smoother, i would double the RAM, its very cheap to do.


The GFX card is OK, but its a little out-of-date for games, and it requires a 64MB.

thats my card

heat...

that's the problem..

my pc is older than that and has 640Mb ram (not much more)

when I play it... I only have problems when my pc is getting too hot...

try removeing the side panel and playing like that for a while...(should make a difference)

 

[gust_nul]

the side panel is off!!!

Could be a heat problem like Juice Daddy said,Or it might be your trying to play at setting's your card just can't handle.

i lowered the detail and it still freezes, when i put the detail to the highest the game is unplayable its that slow!
