[tuohy]

sooo looking around it seems alot of ppl have had the issue of trying to run crysis on windows 7, where it starts to boot up the game and then freezes and crashes. just wondering if anyone has heard any way of fixing this

Try it and see, your cpu is most likely a bottleneck for that gpu.

I'm having the same problem. It ran beautifully on Vista and Win XP. Looking for suggestions to try....have reinstalled...running Audigy 2 sound card.....will have Audigy 4 next week...maybe it is the sound card?
Running dual nVidia video so don't think the problem is there.

Use driver sweeper and update your drivers - try disabling SLI if you have problems - nvidia chipsets also have a tendency to be unstable.

To the contrary, I think although his CPU isn't some soaped up power house. It's good enough for crysis as this game is more GPU dependant. I think the problem might be with the patches not getting along well with 7. Other than that, I heard running 64-bit might also be quite a problem for gaming.
