Oblivion freezes

Post » Thu Sep 08, 2011 7:41 am

Hey guys, I searched and didn't find a topic about this issue. Two days ago, I bought Oblivion GOTY edition off Steam. Downloaded it, played for an hour, then the problems started happening. Whenever I enter a new area, and it starts to load, or use fast travel, or enter a town, the game freezes. I then have to restart my computer. I have a PC that is more than capable of running Oblivion, so that shouldn't be the problem. ( I played Oblivion a year ago on the same computer, but it was not downloaded from Steam.) If you have any suggestions, please help :)

Are you running any mods?

What are your specs?

Oh I forgot to say that there are no mods, just two DLCs that I got with the game (Shivering Isles and Knights Of The Nine).

Specs are:

Windows 7 32bit
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 5600+
4096 MB of RAM
GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB

Oh, while looking at my specs, I found out that DirectX 11 is installed on my PC... Could that be the problem? Maybe I should install DX 9?
