Radeon 9200 pro family has issues when gaming, crashes!

[GreatThinker]

I trying to play Sims 2 on my computer system I am having the complete configuration that is required for this game but then also I am not able to play this game. I think that the problem is related to Radeon 9200, this is the video card I am having. This just a guess from my side, hence for the confirmation I want to confirm that this Radeon 9200 pro family is having problem with the gaming crashes.

I think that the problem is related to heat issue. I am saying this because I was also facing the similar problem. There are number of ATI cards that normally run hot and also being taxed if you are playing this Sims 2 game. I am not sure that your problem is also related to the heat issue, if you want you can confirm this by using monitoring software.

I have a new computer with a Radeon 9200. I am trying to run Hitman contracts but the image quality is average and jerky! It is unplayable, and very annoying! Is it because of the graphics card or is this issue is related to the mis-configuration of my computer system, if you can provide any help then let me know about that. I will be waiting for the related reply.

I come to you because after reinstalling windows and reinstalling the sims 2, I can no longer appear to recolor the objects downloaded as telephone, TV, table. Sutout all the objects giving jurisdiction. And I noticed a while since I all that I downloaded does not appear in the sims (I have put in the directory download). Thank you for your support.

I bought the sims 2, so the original at the top is well past its available but a little tricky so I bought an advanced memory module (256 MB) I also e novella install a version of windows. And since impossible to replay the sims I do not know if the setup of windows has thing to see in case after the game a blue screen says: Windows is preferred to end the file to avoid damaging the computer.

I think the problem is the graphics chipset. I would like to invest in a graphics card but I do not know that model to choose. So please, advise me on choosing a graphics card that would allow me to play Sims 2 without meeting these concerns graphics. PS: I want to invest in a graphics card but I have not the Rothschild fortune so be reasonable even when the template that you will advise. While waiting for your response, I wish you good holiday season and good parties Sim 2.

Yes you right it's your graphics chipset, in fact you have no graphics card, your memory is shared with it then already given the max in that you can save. But I would say that Radeon 9600XT minimum would be to run it in good condition. There after the 6600 or the geforce 6600gt. I think your motherboard is agp so take a graphics card agp and not pci express
