Hey guys, so a while back(around 3-4 months ago) I got a new PC, and I installed BF2 on it, blah blah blah, and it worked perfectly. Over the next couple weeks, I grew tired of it and dropped it.

But now, I recently got a new 5.1 Surround Speaker set(Logitech x-540) and decided to play some BF2 to try it out, the Reviewers were using it, so I thought I would.

I launch the game, blah blah, wait through the sign in, get to a server. I play in the server for 15 mins, then BAM, freezes. Just randomly, it tends to happen alot when I'm doing something(Jumping out of jet with people chasing me) but yeah, now I launch the game, get into a server, 5-10 mine later, Bam, crashed. I've used an app called Anti-Freeze to get out of the deadlock, but that just kicks me back to the desktop.

I've tried Googling it, and the first page or so of results yeilds nothing that's helped.
I asked a techie friend of mine, and he says it's my GFX card(I'm using the Internal card on a Asrock NF6G-VSTA Mobo)

But it didn't crash before.

Thanks in advance for any help, especially considering this is probably a common topic, but the search on BF2s is...dead...at best, so New thread it is.

XP SP2.

Should the Drivers be Uninstalled at any point? Or just put new ones in on top?

likely your Power supply. had the same problem with most games, ran fine for about 15 minutes or so then my pc froze and a hard restart to fix. luckily i have a second monitor so i put ATI-Tool etc in that one to monitor the temps when i was gaming, lockup at 57 Celcius, so replaced my 500W Nmedia with a higher quality PS with much more amperage on the 12V rails and fixed it. alot of cards require alot of power on the 12V these days, and not alot of power supplies can supply that. the ones that come with cases are complete crap and made for very low end cards/on board, as such research them for efficiency before you purchase one, don't wanna run 1200$ worth of stuff on a crap power supply now, also power supplies wear out over time, especially crap ones so keep that in mind. with a faulty vid card you most likely will get artifacting long before a complete freeze-up of your system.... by the way hope you enjoy the CAF server, ill put in a word for recruitment to the other heads.

Naw, it was my drivers, I reinstalled them all, and it worked.
But that's not a problem anymore, my computer decided to die out on me, so I reformatted and pput XP 64bit in, now it runns like a charm(On low GFX thoi, I gotta get a new video card )
