[Fido Dido]

Well, i'm having a problem with my graphic card.. after like 3 mins playing GTA:SA it start to freeze and my FPS goes to 4~6 -_-

Maybe it's overheating?

Do this:

Download RivaTuner/Everest and monitor your temperature within the case and graphic's card temperature.
Get into the game, wait for the freezing/lags. Exit it and watch results.
(If they're still low and freezes, read next)

Go to GTA:SA Options and put everything on low, and view distance on low, and resolution too.
Wait for freezings, lags.
(If still freezes, read below again)

Go to (WindowsXP, dunno about Vista) X:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files
(Where X: is the Harddrive, where GTA San Andreas was installed.)

And delete there gta_sa.set

Get back on the game (Don't change the graphic or anyother options yet) and wait for freezes

If the damn problem still continues......Re-install the game.

That's all....Maybe also downloading old drivers will help, but i don't really know....But that do only in the last place.

My GTA used to freeze, but it was because I installed a mod with IMGtool wrong when I tried to learn how to use IMGtool, I re-installed SA, and it worked fine.
Probably not your problem, but re-installing might work, I don't know..

Then, i can say it's broken. Try bringing it to service for examining if it's OK or not.
