    Every time I start Shogun 2 it crashes, I have more than the recommended specs, but all it does is restart my P.C.

    Please Help.

    I tried that. Is it something to do with the fact that it is on steam?

    It could just hate you. Sometimes I have games that just refuse to work for a week or two. I would recommend restarting your computer but you probably have already done this.

    Hmm I remember now Fallout 3 would not work for almost a month after I got it. It works now when I put the Windows desktop setting back to the normal default theme (not the aero themes). Try this and see if it works for S2TW.

    I'm Afraid that didn't work either, sorry if I'm bothering you by the way.

    It's not steam's fault because you can't play it without it. Can you post your specs?

    That's really good, that's pretty much the best you can possibly get at the moment. My specs are slightly worse and I can run the game on max with no issues whatsoever. It might be a driver issue, have you looked into that? Also, can you run any other games that are similarly graphics intensive?

    Try playing with audio settings go to sound in control panel and lower the quality to like 48000hz or the sort.

    I fixed it, it needed a BIOS update.
