RBarlow Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Ok, So I have finally got around to buying another 2GB of memory for my deskktop pc, hopefully this will solve the issues I have been having with Windows 7 restarting all the time on start up. But will it also reduce the risk of crash dumps occuring during my football manager saves? If somebody with better computer knowledge than mysef could comment would be much apprecated. My computer spec now is... AMD Quad Core 620 CPU AMD ASRock Motherboard 4 Gig DDR 1333 Memory 500 Gig Sata Hard Drive Radeon 4670 512 Video Card Many Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AytchMan Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 FM crashes during a save could have several causes. Check to see if you have enough free disk space on both the Win7 installation drive and the FM game save drive. If the save requires 300MB and there is only 200MB available, this could either corrupt the save file or crash the game (at least in older versions of FM).

jakobx Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 New RAM wont help IMO. You either have a hardware problem or one of the drivers is causing problems. If its a driver problem you could try finding out which one is causing it by using this: http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed. This is a "user friendly" way of analyzing windows crash dumps. If it finds anything then you just goggle the name of the .dll that is the main suspect and update the drivers for that piece of hardware. If its a hardware problem the first thing you should do is download memtest (http://www.memtest86.com/). This is a nice program that checks if your memory is working properly. Then you can move to upgrading the bios on your motherboard, updating every driver, reinstalling windows, trying a different PSU etc etc. There are so many things that can be causing problems its not even funny. Good luck . PS: dont forget to goggle the name of your motherboard to find out if someone else has the same problem. Asrock arent exactly known for quality.

bigdanio Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I have to agree with Jakobx - the extra RAM isn't going to make the game run fast. The CPU tends to be the bottlneck, but yours sounds fine. How many leagues are you trying to run? And how many stars does the game think the speed will be?
