Hello. A few days ago I buyed pvz garden warfare;It didn't work, then I buyed a new graohic card;It worked Sadly it only worked for 2 hours. I don'I know whats wrong but now it says it doesn't sup...
I found out I have a R7 240..
Did you physically remove a card when you put this one in? If yes, wipe your drivers. Let me know what card you took out (just the manufacture (i.e. AMD or nVidia) and I'll give you better detailed instructions how.
-------
If the motherboard had integrated graphics (there is a monitor plug directly on the backplate of the computer that you used before)... make sure those drivers are gone and it's disabled in the BIOS.
-------
Try a frame limiter... oddly enough it fixes this problem for some people.
Open Notepad.
Copy and Paste this:
GameTime.MaxVariableFps 60
Save it as "user.cfg"
You cannot have user.cfg.txt
enable "View Extentions of Known File Types" from Folder Options in Control Panel
Put it in your PvZ directory
\\Origin Games\Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

Here is some more info about removing drivers... I'm just dumping my macro spam... this isn't custom tailored for you... but it might help you work through it if it's a driver issue...

Try this. If you aren't used to Safe Mode or scared of BSOD don't do it.
Uninstall your nVidia Drivers from Control Panel (all) [[replace with your manufacture, i.e. AMD]]
Restart into Safe Mode
Run DriverSweeper
Restart

If you have a BSOD on restart. Go back to Safe Mode. Go to System->Device Manager->Display Adapters Remove them, restart.
Safe Mode /w Networking will save the day
