Bioshock wont run on my computer.

I’m really frustrated. I just got it, downloaded it, and now whenevr i open it, after it runs through all the ads and stuff, the “Microsoft encountered a problem” window pops up. You know where it has the option to send error report or dont send. whats wrong? my computer is a bit old, but i have a new graphics card and its worked with every other game including Half life 2. aghhH!

The processor might be old or bad, bioshock is a pretty strong game on the computer

Kinda, mine is 2.0 and I can’t run anything like that, you might need a newer one. 3.0 or so I guess.
My computer is too small to fix it, so I am stuck with what I got for now

The back of the bioshock box, what does it want for requirements?
I don’t remember exactly how to check card power for your computer, look up your computer type on google and how to check your computer’s cards

You can buy the cards at bestbuy, you would need to ground yourself and open it up, replace the card (you might want to find a video on it) you might also need a new fan, but i dunno
