Hello people, i have recently been having problems with 2 games, Battlefield bad company 2, and Crysis, my build is easily suitable to support them, but they never really are able to play well, they crash in less than 10 minutes , all my other games are absolutely wonderful lol, but im sure it is something about my 2 EA games that are different, any suggestions?

*Something new occured, i set everything from all graphics settings, it seems to run for about 5 - 10 mins (Crysis) on Very High, it seems to actually work on very high better than the others BTW, i have tried DX 9 and 10, it makes no difference

My Rig

Mobo: Asus m4a785td-v EVO

CPU:AMD Athlon II 630 x4

GPU: ATI XFX HD 5770

PSU:Modular Corsair 450 watt

Ram: 4GB DDR3 Corsair

160 gb hdd

try contacting EA to see what they say,what are your temps like In game,also try lowering your settings to see what happens

I may have figured out a solution, I kept on saving because i thought it would crash, now i cba saving, let auto save do its work, and it seems to be good kinda lol

any overclocking? do other games work fine?

 

[subliminal messeging]

yeah, i have call of duty modern warfare, half life 2 and 1 not that many recently though but BfFBC2 as i have earlier posted i think doesnt work either, but i have been playing crysis, and i can play it for longer now

Could it be may psu, as it is modular, however, the 5770's minimum power supply is 450 watt, so, i do not know

 

[AMDFTW]

might be the psu,ime shure some one on hear had the same problem and it was the PSU what is ur current PSU

 

[subliminal messeging]

corsair 450 watt modular lol

 

[Brooksie]

Might be, 450w psu powering a 5770 and a quad core. pushing it a tad.

 

[subliminal messeging]

I was thinking, that, and i may upgrade to a 550 watt psu soon

 

[AMDFTW]

I would suggest higher than a 550w fella,look around the 650w/750w mark from a good brand,as you said before your 5770 requires a 450w PSU and u have one but its running your whole system

 

[deathwish]

i would agree that its most likly the psu on this one though you can allways find out what your systems drawing by buying a power monitor like http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=286534

the PSU wattage calculators are only there as a general guidline and not to be taken as 100%.

 

[subliminal messeging]

i will hopefully end up gettin a 650 watt psu then, cuz sometime in the futre, i will probably instal a new HDD

You can get a good Corsair 750w for like $119 US I think.

 

[subliminal messeging]

i'm probably just gonna get the corsair 650 watt, because i do not have much money and i suppose that 650 is fine for me as i won't be ussing crosfire etc

great power suply that is, and a 650w will be fine to handle 2 5770's if you ever decided you did want the extra performance of crossfire.

 

[subliminal messeging]

tbh, i doubt i would use crossfire, 1 is fine for me , so would you reccomend a 600 to 650 watt then?

 

[I Hunta x]

either would be fine tbh but 650w gives you extra bit of headroom for re using it on your next build or a future upgrade like crossfire or a 5870 for not much more than the 600ws so id personaly get the 650w. Ive been using my 600w OCZ for several years as ive had no need to buy another because of an upgrade or a new build ect.

 

[subliminal messeging]

sweet, i will be getting the corsair something 650 watt lol, it is basically all the same connecters as the corsair modular one i now have
