I've been told an SSD would solve this but before I tell my friend to spend money on an SSD, is the Intel i5 2400, Nvidia Quadro k2200 (4gb GPU) and 16 dd3 Ram good enough to run the game or is the Steam requirements to run the game incorrect/not been updated. Any help would be appreciated as I would really like to start a gaming session with my friend
An HDD will definitely go up to 100% usage with this game and switching to, or adding, an SSD will definitely help a lot. No guarantees it solves the crashing, though. That could be a faulty hard drive, RAM, graphics card, CPU, motherboard... You get the idea. It could also be that the power supply is too small to handle the hard drive usage being used by the game.
But as others have said, the hardware isn't great and even if it runs after changing drives, it will likely be laggy and not all that enjoyable. This isn't a game where being at minimum specs isn't a big deal. It might be playable but I wouldn't call it enjoyable.
And if they are trying to use mods, especially a lot of them, that will cause even more problems with thar computer. Their log would help to show if there is anything specific causing the crash.
