Question
I don't know if u can help me with this:

Problems with TF2 (Team Fortress 2#?
I recently bought team fortress 2 because its an awesome game. I installed everything correctly and the first couple of time #When i joined a server) it froze and an error message popped up saying the memory could not be "read". The next couple of times it completely shutdown my system and i had to reboot...After some time i reinstalled the game and i modded the launch settings. It worked and i played for 3 seconds before it froze and the sound kept looping. I need a solution to this. Here are my specs:

Mainboard : ELITEGROUP 945GCT-M3
Chipset : Intel i945G/GZ
Processor : Intel Celeron E1200 @ 1600 MHz
Physical Memory : 1024 MB (2 x 512 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card : Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family
Hard Disk : WDC (20 GB)
Hard Disk : WDC (320 GB)
CD-Rom Drive : Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200A
Monitor Type : Acer X193W+ - 19 inches
Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RT8139 (Ao/C/810x/813x/C+) Fast Ethernet Adapter
Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3
DirectX : Version 9.0c (September 2009)


Im thinking that if i buy a newer video card with 256 Mb memory..the problem will be solved considering the time i actually got to play..i played but just experienced major lag and it froze. Im thinking that the video card will also make up what the processor cant do since its a 1.6Ghz (Dual Core). Will this work? Please give me advice because i want to not have to waste more money from now on..after the new purchase

**Additional Details**
By the way..My power supply is a 250 watt PSU. My PC is an eMachines W3653 PC

Answer
Hi dude!
   
Actually for the Team Fortress 2 game, 1.6Ghz is enough.I need some more details from you. This problem occurs only when playing multiplayer ? Is this problem peculiar to this game only on your pc ? Also i suggest you to try memory diagonising software to ensure no problem with memory.

I can help you to solve the problems while installing or playing the games. I tried most of the action games some of them include Call of Duty,Prince of Persia and EA Cricket. I can clarify the doubt about game play also.
