Plants vs Zombies has stopped working
Hi folks, I have looked through plenty of threads/pages about this issue but I am too afraid to try anything incase I just make the problem worse. Anyways, I am a bit of an idiot when it comes to c...

Im talking abotu the 000005 Crash
Gotcha.
I looked at your topic again. The thing that jumps out at me is Radeon HD 6530D
Should it play this game? I think so yes... how well I'm not entirely sure.
I googled your computer, it looks like a half-height chassis. They make a few niche market cards that fit this size. They cost a bit more than their native cards and are also scaled/cut down in other ways (which could cause problems in and of itself).
Personally I would try buying one of those powerful niche market cards for about 100$ and see if it fixes it. I think it will but I might be wrong. I'd get that APU out of the equation though.
If that doesn't cut it, I'd shrink your primary partition down, give yourself about 50 free GBs. Install Windows fresh, even if you use a 90 day trial from Microsoft.
That is my 2 cents on your specific issue... I know it isn't very good.. It's okay if you hate me for it... but that is my 2 cents on your issue re-reading your thread.
This also goes to show how everbodies problem, although they might look the same, can be miles apart.
I will admit that c00005 was one **bleep** of a thorn I couldn't pluck at the launch of this game... but since that first week I think we've had a pretty good success rate at fixing crashing on people's system who have dedicated GPUs of mid-tier or higher.
Again I'm very sorry if these are "poor" suggestions... that is what I'd try though. If you live in Ohio... bring your **bleep** over here and we'll throw one of my GPUs in in it.. I even have crazy things like external enclosures and PCIe16 extention cables... we'll hook up a monster on the outside of your case.. Okay I'm getting crazy now.. need to stop typing.
/weird mood tonight... as you can tell :P
*edit PS. I would go with a AMD/ATi GPU because of your AMD CPU. I have a theory that doesn't hold much water but I have seen issues with AMD + nVIdia cards... when someone posts a system like that... I raise an eyebrow and don't expect to have very good luck with solving their problem... I don't know exactly why. I've made this allegation for Frostbite games before and asked that the devs take a look at it... no clue if it holds any water or not.. I'd lean towards no... but enough that I wouldn't recommmend an nVidia GPU with an AMD CPU for these games.
