Windows 7 32-bit Crash

Hey guys I am using Windows 7 32-bit 4GB ram installed(maxed out) with plenty of space on my hard drive and a ATI Radeon HD 2400 series video card. My issue is ever since I installed PR with the latest patches and all I can get maybe one game in before it crashes me back to my desktop. I run in optimal settings with everything at medium ( I had everything in High and it worked fine, but figured if I switched to medium it might resolve my issue). Anyone have any suggestions? BF2 works flawlessly as I can play multiple games with no crash issues. So it has to be a PR problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I was having my ram maxxed out when I was running 32-bit. It was then that I questioned why I was using 32-bit in the first place. I reinstalled to 64-bit and have not looked back.

That's funny that you say that, I believe that was what was causing my issue. It was over 1 million at one point. I tweaked my video settings and enabled an overdrive and it has seemed to help.

Thanks. I ended up tweaking my video settings and it has seemed to help. I can play multiple games now. Must have been over heating my video card or something and was causing it to crash. Now I just get random "There is an issue with your connection" every now and then.

Why not reinstall to 64-bit?

I don't have 64-bit. Computer came with 32.

You can reinstall to the 64-bit OS with the same serial key.. search how to de-authorize the current install first.

This is all assuming you have a 64-bit processor/hardware
