Vista x64 crashes during games

Hy guys,


I'm new to this forum, but I already some topics that are of some interest to me. I tried to find a solution for my problem, but I couldn't find any...

I try to play Warcraft III and Fifa 09 and they bouth crash...Fifa verry fast and Warcraft in 10-15 minutes. The problem is identical - my computer freezes and some pixels go bannanas....i have the latest graphic card driver, recently installed latest DirectX and still no sollution...

I used the System Info Tool from this forum, and atached the .txt to this post. If there is a problem, I would be verry grateful for any help!


Thx alot!

Well I am not about to download any files.
But it kinda sounds like it might be not enough power from your PSU.

Re: Vista x64 crashes during games

Downloading is not mandatory, I can just post the results here, but it's a pretty long list

Don't think it's the PSU. I have a CORSAIR TX SERIE PSU 650W 140MM FAN ATX.

Re: Vista x64 crashes during games

Not sure if this will help but it solved my problems for almost all my games.

Right on the icon you have to lunch the game. Hit properties. Go to the compatibility tab.

Run put a check mark on run in compatibility mode for _(whatever the game was designed for)_ and make sure you run it as administrator.

How about temperatures?

Monitor your graphics cards temperature and make sure it's not overheating.

@joseeg12

I read about this, and I really don't know why, but I cannot check mark that button. It's faded. I can't use it

@Ki_Shodar

The temperature is ok...I already monitor it and it's in the correct parameters...

Re: Vista x64 crashes during games

I dread having to download txt files but if you were to put yuor system specs, we could try to help better.

Stupid question but it must be asked... do you meet or pass the minimum requirements for the game?

@ki_shodar

Thx for posting my specs.

I had this problem right after I installed Vista x64...about 2 weeks ago. I did not try any other games, because I didn't wanted to go mad and destroy my pc

Fifa 09 worked just fine on Vista x32...haven't tried Warcraft.

Re: Vista x64 crashes during games

Did you add any RAM when you switched to x64?
