    Hi guys!
    i just bought ghost recon advanced warfighter...and im having some issues now....
    first of all i wanted to say that the game plays well on mid-high settings though i have to turn texture quality on low....now the problem is that the game freezes after like every 15~30 minutes and i have to endtask it through the task manager...this gets really frusterating!!! so whats the problem? game plays fine for a while...then freezes.............its not my graphic card because i can play bf2 for hours and not experience any freezing...and my graphics card's temperatures are in 53~60C range whenever i game...so thats not the problem...so what is?

    ok...problem fixed after installing all the Graw patches...runs perfectly now...and even smoother

    Edit--CPU temps: 55~65C At full load (playing GRAW) and full speed (1.73Ghz)
    GPU temps: 48~62C when playing GRAW....its more around 62 than 48

    not possible. I have 7800 GTX and it play at Max Settings (maybe a thing or two in Medium) with 30+ FPS at the most intense moments.

    Those seem a bit exaggerated for a Go7400, especially with filtering, shadows and lights enabled and at full. Can you post some screenshots with an fps count?
