i think you should check with a good higher watt PSU (440+) first.

hmm, change the PSU before your computer starts to smell funny.

It's instability you're seeing, hence the hang.

Grab an FSP Saga II 350W @ 1.5k

Should do your rig justice.

Get FSP Saga II 400W @ 1.7k. It'll be ok for your rig.

I've completed crysis 2's 5 missions in my PC. Earlier if the game hangs , then if i close it and restart it again then it worked fine. Now i've even tried restarting game 4-5 times but it still doesn't work.

Ya i'm planning to buy a FSP Saga II 400W.

Crysis 2 run's fine on my friends PCs. One of then have Nvidia 9500GT 1GB(with Intel Core 2 Quad 2.6GHz) DDR3 & other one have a Nvidia G310 512MB(with Core i3 2.93GHz). Both of them have 4GB RAM. Is it due to an AMD card ?

^^ Don't be silly. Your card is way better than what your friends have. Just the PSU can't handle the heat by the game. So better safe than sorry, change it and it might work.

It's not the AMD card, as furious guy says, the PSU is the problem.

Better change it quick, cuz it's "better safe than sorry" as _gamer says

Then why was i able to play 1st 5 missions without problems. Moreover i started the 6th mission smoothly but once i was killed then after that i was unable to resume

^^ I don't have a plausible explanation, but maybe after 5 missions your PSU ran out of all the juice it had.

Satisfactory?

heh, HD 5670 is much much faster than your friends' cards.

Whether your game copy is ahem and corrupted or your PSU is insufficient, I guess you know the answer.

Anyways, try AMD Catalyst 11.6 from here: AMD Graphics Drivers & Software - Download the latest drivers for your graphics products

That is weird and may be as comp@ddict said, PSU gets overloaded after a certain time and that is why you are facing the issue... !!!

Whatever it is, changing the PSU will not only fix the issue will also save your system from severe damage.

Try update drivers as ico mentioned.

I'm using Catalyst 11.4. I can't download update from AMD website since my internet connection is slow :sad:.

^^as pointed by ico, is your copy of Crysis 2 legit ?
furious_gamer
Jun 22, 2011 at 12:15 PM
@Faun
Do you really think that'll be the problem?

@OP
Try update the drivers and install patch if any. And see if that helps.

Finally, JUST CHANGE YOUR PSU. Or else you'll regret later

see, you buy the psu (we are forcing you yes), or have a slow demise of your more costlier components(the entire COMPUTER).

you can do whatever else you want, we just want your computer safe. but if you don't understand that much, they do as you wish

My DVD drive just went unconsious

My DVD drive is detected & shown in My Computer but it reads nothing. I've tried restarting the PC. The drives doesn't read anything(neither DVD-DL, DVD nor CD).

Tell me some solution which can be done @ home ?

I've already given order for a PSU to HCL(Only authorized service centre here). They told that they will bring a FSP 350W.

Solution @ home??

Reinstall the game, or install patches or just reinstall Windows. lol.

Discussion is unfruitful on this topic, honestly.

Solution at home:

Make sure cabby is dust free, Try with patches and driver versions. If failed, re install windows.

Also, stay away from p1rated copies. Atlest.. stay way from mentioning them.
