NFS Carbon crashing/freezing

awdrifter · November 19th, 2006, 9:03 PM

I just got NFS Carbon to try out my new system, but everytime I go into options and try to adjust the graphics it freezes. My system specs are

AMD X2 4600 (@2.86ghz 249x11.5)

ECS KN1 Lite

Mushikin DDR400 2x1GB (carry over from old setup)

Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU (carry over from old setup)

Biostar 7600GT DDR3 256mb (oc'd to 646/811)

The system is tested stable @2.86ghz, but I even turned the cpu overclock down to 2.55ghz, it still does the same thing. Do I need a driver update for my video card? I did the AMD and MS dual core fixes, will they interfere with the game? Is there a patch for this game that I must get? Please help, thanks.

Here's a screenshot when it became unresponsive.

Legit or cracked copy?

Someone on another forum suggested I might have oc'd my video card a little too high, I turned the oc down to 636/801, it works smoothly now. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

And anyhow, it's an EA game, how dumb can you be when you expect it to work flawlessly?
