1GB DDR PC3200 Value Select Corsair RAM
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton Core - Thermaltake Twin Blade CPU fan
ATI Radeon 9600XT - Artic Cooling HSF

2x 120mm intake/outtake fans
1x 80mm side intake
Hi,
Recently I reinstalled Battlefield 2 after about 7 months to play it again. Everything installed fine and i began playing only to notice that sometime parts of the overlayed HUD like the map and health staus would disappear. When this would happen my corsshair would also go. Other times the text goes into unrecognizable, coloured scrambled characters and kits goes missing from the spawn screen. At the same time the cursor would disappear not allowing me to select a spawn site. If i click around I might be lucky and hit a spawn site, but its a wild shot seen as though i cant see the cursor.
The interesting thing is, I found that if I turn the geometry setting down to low in the video settings, the issue no longer was as frequent. This is a bummer because geometry makes everything look better even on medium.
I have reinstalled graphics and mobo drivers using DriverCleaner and have the latest versions. I have also reinstalled the game twice.
After trying everything i read the 10 ways to reduce lag sticky at the top of this section and installed 3rd party WarCat Drivers. It worked. Everything was good..................UNTIL the monitor turned to a black screen about 45minutes into game play as if it was no longer receiving a signal. The actual computer however still had power and was running.
I also higly doubt this is an overheating issue or RAM as i have extra GPU cooling and Corsair RAM
I don't know what to do or what the cause is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Toby
