title Should of said CANT PLAY GTA4 ON MY PC

 

Yo guys, i know my PC isnt the Best but i thought i would be able to play GTA4 At min Requirements

 

Pc Specs:

 

AMDx2 4400+ 2.2GHZ - I think thats the problem!

2GB Corsair Ram

ATI 4870 1GB

 

 

I can Start up GTA and startplaying but when i go Too fast in a car and turn it freezes then the Blue Screen of Death

 

I used to be able to play it for a few hours online No problem. but i cant seem to play it for long at all now.

 

Ive put all my Setting on As low as they will go even the Screen res. My Gfx card will cope with the game fine i think its just CPU

 

I dont under stand why now i cant play it for more than a few mins!!

 

Any help???

 

 

Thanks smile.gif

You need to give what the blue screen says please. When you give me this information I can determine your problem.

ok tried to get the blue screen to appear, but it didnt do it ( Typical!!) its just Crashing, when i got fast or turn sharply in a car it will frezze and the sound will skip etc

 

i have to Ctrl alt del out.

 

Cpu usage is high tho.

Yep probably the ATI drivers are the cause if you look...but also make sure you have all the windows updates installed cos there has been fixes that cured a conflict issue between ati drivers and soundcards.

Yo guys, i know my PC isnt the Best but i thought i would be able to play GTA4 At min Requirements

uhh... I have all settings maxed out except view and detail distance turned to 33 and running with constantly 30 - 50 frames with my Intel Q9300 @ 2.6 GHz (low OC, bad fan) and ATi 4850 512 MB

 

you really should be able to run it fine, but you sadly don't confused.gif

You need to get that processor overclocked mate, it's amazing how nice it runs! Wish I had the money to go for that at the time smile.gif.

 

I know how you could get it up to around 3.8 if you want, increase your FPS by loads, but like you said you need better heatsink. I have Noctua NP.
