Oblivion compatible with my PC?

Please use this as a resource. My question is: Is my HP Pavillion Elite with windows 7 compatible with oblivion? 8G of RAM, 4350 Adion graphics card, 750G Hard Drive.

It is. Infact, this configuration is well above the Specs necessary to run Oblivion at its fullest.

 

I once had a Radeon 9600 Card with an Athlon xp 1800+ and two gigs ram. And with some Mods, like Low poly Grass, and some tweaking, like turning the flickering of the lightsources off, it ran pretty well. Actually, i managed to run Oblivion smoother on this old rig then it runs on the xbox360, which is funny when you think about how much you pay for the xbox and how much you'll pay for something that is as fast as my old Rig.

Funny tidbit; i managed to run GTA4 an old A64 with 2 gigs ram and an 7800 Geforce and once i had installed a mod which got rid of the "gritty/greiny" filter that makes GTA even more, well, gritty and grainy, it ran perfectly smooth. So i had this rather old Rig which ran GTA4 smoothly and it looked even better then on the xbox ;D

 

The radeon 9600 rig from above is pretty much one of the lowest configurations you'll manage to run Oblivion playable;

 

With more mods like "Oldblivion", you'll run Oblivion on Computers which are even older.

Or, Go here to see if your computer can run the game

 

You will find Oblivion listed as 'The Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion

Fallout3 as Fallout3 PC

So here's my problem. I press play on the game and it looks like it's going to work. Then the screen goes black for a second and my computer sais it stopped working. I've already tried re-installing the game. Please help! CPU Specs above.

 

Edit: BTW sometimes the game works. Like 1 out of 100...
