It's strange, I just got my hands on my new system - AMD 4200+ Dualcore PCI-16x, 2 GB RAM, Maxtor 250GB Hard Drive with Windows 64-Bit Pro and A8N-SLI Mobo. This is by far and away better than any machine I've had and yet I can't seem to play games of this type:- Rome Total War, Empire Earth 2, Blitzkrieg (I don't know what games of this type are called, but you get the idea).
The screen always freezes, sometimes immediately, sometimes after a couple of minutes. This is usually preceded by black lines flicking across the screen. Games such as Pro Evolution Soccer 5, Fifa and Combat games work perfectly. This is really annoying me, I tried reinstalling Windows, reinstalling all drivers and the games themselves. No dice. I've heard of many problems with games not running properly on the x64 format, but I don't want to go out and get 32-Bit XP if it's not assured to solve the problem. I may also point out that the first list of games worked for hours only a night before it all went wrong, even though I hadn't changed anything on my computer when I tried again.
Any suggestions? I don't want £1395 going down the drain....
