You can try booting from IGP and then reset Card defaults from Catalyst..

hey what is your GPU and MB make and Model ?

Reinstall the CCC. It should over ride the OC settings.

use on-board display port and then in bios select IGP(Integrated graphics on motherboard) instead of PCI or pcie... then change catalyst settings for your card to default.

what settings did you change?

^^not worth @ all, he has a low end GPU.. GTA 4 needs proper High end card so we can talk about FPS, below that If it runs it is more then enough.. on My gts 250 it lags on some places..On initial run for few minutes.

you cant.

I'd start with getting a quad-core CPU and a mid range GPU and 4GB RAM if I were you

well yes it is simplest & straight way to solve some software base problem.. no trouble shooting at all.. :) Did you got display ? I was afraid you might have baked your GPU.

Overclocking is very serious thing and you should do it very carefully.. it can harm your hardware..

2008 game in 2006???!! :p
adjust the date on your cam.

@OP for GTA 4 you need a quad core, 4GB Ram and a decent GPU. Your system wont cut it. Even if you upgrade your card, your CPU is gonna bottleneck in this highly unoptimised game.

@ OP - get a decent gpu - OC the cpu a little bit ( say 400 Mhz more ) and don't forget to update GTA4 to the latest version ;-)
