GTA San Andreas Crashes every 15-20 min!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Not to mention frustrating time mission design, this game crashes every fricking 20 min! it starts to lag seriously as if a memory leak and then crashes with no errors. Anyone got any ideas?

If you're having problems with your original CD/DVD, then RTFM, run Windows update, update your drivers, contact the publisher, read the official game support forum etc...

You should check out the PC troubleshooting section of http://www.gtaforums.com - its a freaking HUGE forum dedicated to the GTA series. It looks like there's already lots of tips there for crashes. You'd probably get a better answer there than here.

I'm an overclocker dude. Trust me, I know about the heat related crashes! I had 4.78 ghz on this CPU! It's a celeron D 2.4

Why do I play games on this gay system? Because doom 3 runs on max setting, so does any other fps including far cry, rome total war, boiling point, but this game lags all the sudden and crashes.

My system is 2.4 Celeron
geforce 6800 ultra 256 mb
4 gigs ocz ram ddr400, no heatspreaders
v7 mobo, from abit (all drivers updated)
no sound card
Sata controller card

Yet GTA runs slow as hell at max setting in the unplayable range! Hell boiling point ran great even and that is a bigger game plus better graphics, and even a memory leak which I belive they fixed now!

edit..................... GTA forums has my IP banned!!!!!! WTF?

Why do people overclock, not only does it stress out components, but OC'ing that CPU to a high clocking is really bad.

GTA:SA runs fine on mine on high settings.

Something not right on your end. Perhaps like most people your using perhaps a software soundcard (onboard) which doesnt work well on full acceleration. Try going into dxdiag and turning down the acceleration on sound to none.

I haven't played the P.C. version of the game yet but I see there is a crash patch available at GCW, maybe that would help.
