okay so i just bought/installed cod4 and it seems that whenever i start a mission it just last for about 1 min and then crash
for the system requirments i do pass them all except for the video card... which says the minimuim is 6600 i have 6200 but anywhere on any forums people say that it runs normally on 6200 with graphics on low ... by the way i dont believe this is a video card problem cause the 1 min which the games run in ... is totally without lag at all and also i see lots of peoples on help forums facin crashes too even with much better video cards than the game requires

so rather than buying a new video cards any ideas?
1 more thing if u believe that this a video card problem can you explain it ?

here is a video : YouTube - Call Of Duty 4 Geforce 6200 agp

well i found out it does not lag after 1 min it just lag whenever i try to gout of the door in the first trainin mission thats where i go to find captain price so any ideas?

How does it "crash"?

hey i cannot read ur post i was clickin something when i opened the site and now everything is so small its like i changed the resoloution of the site theme please help me i hardly made it to the post how do i zoom the site theme again ??? plzzz

What did you click?

IE has magnifier down above the clock.

i used that scroll in the mouse and whats IE ?

xD never mind there is a zoom in the view in firefox
so back to the crash problem ... when i say crash i mean just like counter strike source (my previous posts)
it just freezes in task manager its not respondin i have to manually restart the computer..
about the post i will read it now will post my reply like 3 mins from now please wait

okay good news and bad news...
good first: it did run more now (note i changed nothin at all) but then it crashed at the part where i should get the mp5...
bad : i cannot do ur post cause even after i closed automatic restart when the game freeze it never go to the blue screen i left it for about 20 mins and nothin happened still at the freezed scene

if it was a video card problem is that whats supposed to happen?

Yes. Freezing is quite likely a graphics issue especially during games.

The other main suspect would be heat?

Sorry I don't remember the earlier thread but can you still use the computer outside of the game?

If so that makes the graphics card even more suspect.

Event Viewer
--------------------------------------------------
Check your Event Viewer via Administrative Tools.

Open the System as well as Application tabs and look for red X errors that coincide with your problem. Details here:
