| A simple solution would be to turn down your resolution and graphics settings for the game. If that does work let us know what game you are playing and what type of hardware your computer has. |

If its a brand name PC like a Dell or Gateway or some such, post your model number and we can probably find out the info. If its a custom PC, post the mobo and socket type. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

You can't even imagine the how hard my E-Penis is. But for srsly, short of just letting the game go... You'll need a new CPU; http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/BrandSubcategory.asp?Brand=1157&Subcategory=343&name=Processors-Intel - http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/BrandSubcategory.asp?Brand =1157&Subcategory=343&name=Processors-Intel You will likely need a new mother board as well. Read up on the installation process and you could likely do it. |

Find out what motherboard you have, find out what socket CPU you have and then go out and buy a new CPU. If its a couple years old or older then you can probably find a new processor for under $100. |
