First is the major problem:

When i hit connect to server after a map has loaded in, my computer crashes totally and goes to sleep mode. Not every time, and it has done it a few times while actually playing.

So I deleted all BF2 and SF files, reinstalled and re-patched and it still does it. Anyone know why this would happen? I also tried 3Dmark and my graphics card runs ok. And other games are ok as well.

Secondly:

When i load the game, instead of gong to BFHQ as it always has done, it now randomly picks a server and then starts to load it. Anyone know how to stop this?

Also since i have reinstalled it, the sound seems much sharper and the people now run around shouting things out which they never did before like when throwing grenades and ammo packs, and saying phrases differently than they used to. Its actually better but i have no idea why it never did this before?

Any help would be most appreciated!!

right click on your BF2 shortcut, and take out in the target     +playnow 1    and that problem shall be fixed.

Over heating? That is usually the cause of your computer shutting off randomly.

Yes i thought it was that at first, but ran 3dmark with no probs. It then happened when it was cold and only just turned on so new it must be something different.

Il keep trying!

Well i just had to RMA my graphics card for a new one as it was overheating and would give it paralysis in game, the biggest hints about it are generally funky colours though

such as that in an apc

If your graphics are fine to look at then test your processor and ram with something like prime95, mind my graphics were only screwed up in BF2 otherwise they seemed fine.

Sounds like your settings were reset when you reinstalled. It's probably set on High Quality sound in the Audio settings.

Yes my last graphics card did that right before it burnt out completely!
