    Can't Run Civilization 4

    512 isn't a ton of memory to run this game. I would make sure all other programs are shut down, including virus protection etc. Your processor is fine though.

    Abrupt shutdown in Civ4

    Well, I had an AMD FX-55 with 4GB ram and 2 256GeForce 7800 GTs in SLI mode and it still would shut down on its own. The game just seems to be buggy for some systems. If it continues to shut down, I would be weary to continue to play. I did for awhile, then one time it finaly caused a...

    Nice computer but still crashes

    As I said in other post, don't make the same mistake as me. My computer kept randomly reseting/crashing while playing Civ4 late in the game on a huge map. Then, the big-one came. My computer did not come back up after it crashed it. Now, I have a hardware failure somewhere. Not sure if it...

    Game crashing

    I would be VERY careful about this issue. I tried to play through my Civ4 addiction despite it randomly reseting my computer, crashing etc. Well, I paid the price, big-time. My desktop did not come back up properly after one of Civ4's random crash/resets and now I have a hardware failure...

    My 1st game crash - details posted. Help?

    I'm crashing a lot too. I can't figure it out either. Nothing seems to be wrong with my computer other than playing this damn game. Such a shame because if it worked correctly, I would play and easily give them more money for futures. I can't believe people will spend money on the new...

    Nice computer but still crashes

    I agree that is certainly part of the problem considering I can play higher-end games. However, it seems to me many of the problems seem to have a common theme of using nVidia video cards. Not to say the video cards are not good, but that Civ4's problems are bigger with those cards. So I'm...

    Nice computer but still crashes

    This is driving me crazy because I love Civ4!! :( Alright, my computer is solid but it still keeps crashing. And it only crashes with Civ4. I built this computer a little over a year ago and it runs all high performance games great. From reading some of the posts here, I'm gonna assume it...
