Is it old? Or do you run other program(s) while also playing the game? You may not have enough processing power to run it smoothly, which causes it to crash.

My comp is about two-three years old and was one of the newest models in that time.

That's probably not it then.

Is your computer slow otherwise... like when you play other games or use other programs? How much RAM do you have? Do you run other programs or applications while playing 2K11?

No, no other programs and no, my computer is not slow usualy.
But, sometimes, when I am just searching through web pages it also happens.

Hmmmm weird. I guess I'm not really sure what to say then.

Do you have anti-virus protection and all that stuff? Have you scanned your computer recently to see if there are any viruses or malware slowing it down?

Yes. I have Kaspersky Anti-virus 2009. Maybe I should get a newer version.

I think I might know what is wrong with your computer but it is hard to explain and I don't know all the technical terms. Is it still under warranty? If it is you should take it in. You'll probably end up having to replace your hard drive.

Thank you, now I'm crying.

Just back up the stuff that you absolutely need to keep.

That would be my guess anyways. My computer was doing the same thing and it was because of a hard drive failure and had to be replaced

Other possible reasons:

1. virus
2. you're running too many/too RAM-intensive programs causing your computer to overheat
3. there's a bunch of dust in your computer causing it to overheat easily

Thanks for the help roundhouse and CW. This is happening for a longer time now so maybe my computer doesn't have much time left.

One question:
Can the prize for the winner of the timberpup game be a new hard drive?

But seriously, sorry to hear about your computer problems. That really sucks. Hopefully it all works out fine for you Flash. And yes, it might just be time for a new computer... especially if you want to play the new operating power intensive games on it.

Because I couldn't solve the computer problem I decided to buy a console.

So one question; What's better ps3 or xbox?

PS3 is way better

I played a lot of 360 before I got a PS3 because everyone I knew had one and having played both extensively PS3 is a lot better. Especially now that more and more people are switching to PS3 they have more & better exclusive games with a few obvious exceptions such as Halo and Gears of War.

The graphics are better and PS3 is all around more powerful. Plus you get a built in Blu Ray player. The PS3 controllers are so much better than 360. The cordless 360 controllers run on AA batteries and feel like they weigh too much. PS3 controller is really light and when it needs to be recharged you just plug it in to the PS3, no batteries needed. Also another thing is that PSN (playstation network) is free whereas on 360 you have to buy a subscription to play online.

I don't have either system, but PS3 all the way.

Whoa, thanks for the infos!
I was thinking that ps3 is better but then some friends said me that the graphic is better on xbox. Maybe they are angry because they don't have ps3.
And this online thing is a big plus.
