I just got FEAR and after 30 minutes of game play it either freezes, crashes, or restarts my computer. I had FEAR on my computer a while ago and it didn't do this.

Specs:

Nvidia 6800 XT
Msi Neo4 71-25
1 gig DDR RAM
Athlon 3200+ 64

I was going to say that you are overheating, but I don't think that would cause freezing/crashing, but definitely a restart. Check temps anyway. Try to find a patch for the game, and update all your drivers. Does this happen with other games? Is it when you are at a certain spot in the game, or just after time? Does it happen when you see a certain object in the game? Read the buglist, make sure your card is compatible with it. Maybe try to turn the graphics down.

You may try lowering your settings...

Try here somewhere!

I'm sorry I don't know what the problem could be. Am using the latest patch only and it works just fine! Played it all and am working on EP now FUN!!!

Well you see I did check my temp and it stayed around 55 degrees. I shouldn't have to lower my settings because I have played FEAR before and it doesn't do this. Yes it does do this with other games.

Maybe test your ram or see if you can swap with a friend to see if that helps.
Otherwise if you added any new drivers or anything changed in the OS you use that could hog up your memory in the first place is worth checking. Disabling any extra services not needed in Task manager- msconfig - services.msc if you are using XP etc. It could be many things depending on what has changed since the last time it ran smoothly... :oops:

Is your cooling system working good?

Yeah I got a new PSU. Thing is my FEAR EP likes to freeze at a certain point. I reinstalled several times. However no dice.

with my old computer, i used to get that problem a lot in other games. What i figured out finally to work was just updating your drivers. i only had problems with Steam oriented games though.

Yeah but it happens with FEAR only I did update my drivers.
