Having problems with NFS Carbon and Most Wanted...

Ok, I've bought myself a new computer, bought all the parts and a mate of mine helped me build.

I'll be playing NFS fine, then eventually, I don't know how to explain it other then superspeed.. It's not jerky or sketchy movement, the car just goes way too fast (not on the speedo). Can't take corner, as a tap of the arrow button makes it do a 180 spin and crash into walls.

But this does not happen on any of the other games I have installed on my comp (Farcry, CS: S, CoD2, Serious Sam II, Quake 4, DoW series).

The specs of my comp are;
AMD64 x2 4600 2.4ghz
ASUS M2N-E mobo
2x1gig DDR2-800 RAM
XFX GEFORCE 7900GS
2x 250gig SATA2

I usually run the games at the best settings, all the other games have no problem, and even when I make the settings of the crap quality, it still does it. Any ideas?

Cheers.
 
Try reloading the games and looking for any patches there might be out there... You didn't mention what OS you were running, but Vista has a few known gaming issues.
 
Oh yeah sorry, I am running XP home, I have reloaded, a restart of the comp gets it going like normal, but then, maybe after 30 mins of playing, it will do it again. And I also have the newest versions of the patches for both games.
 
The patch from game will not help it. I have experiance this before as well. Its the CPU compability issue. Go to www.amd.com download the latest driver and install it. And you should have no problem running the game afterward. chow
 
The above could work or you could just the the affinity to one core.

Open task manager and go to process, find nfsmw, right click and then set affinity and choose just one core.

Hope that helps
Bob
