I 'used' to CTD in 1.3 alot!,
Ran this on my computer
http://www.memtest86.com/ found a faulty stick of 512MB out of 1GB Ram
Replaced it and i have only CTD once and that was still when i was in 1.3, 1.4 i have not CTD yet!.
Eh,
Its worth a try..
Follow the instructions, what it does it boots your system into an os off the CD image you burn then it runs the test to get the best results it can.
Im not saying this will fix the issues because it could come down to maybe BF2 doesnt like you computer hardware or it may not be your RAM thats causing it.
I am saying that this will assist you in ensuring that its not your RAM.
The way i ran it was booted off the CD.
Ran the test.. it started to fail at test 5:
( Test 5 [Block move, 64 moves] ) - This test stresses memory by using block move (movsl) instructions
It also failed on another test later i beleive it was 8, cant confirm..
Anyway i removed one of my 512MB sticks of RAM booted and ran the test again...
Found no issues so swapped it with the other stick of 512MB RAM..
Failed on the tests again!
A couple days later with drool in my mouth and red blood shot eyes due to withdrawals i stumbled into the PC shop and grabed 1x stick of 1GB of RAM
Slapped it in and ran the test..
Initially it failed..
But that was because i placed the RAM in the incorrect order so i swapped the 1GB to slot 1 and the 512MB to slot 2..
Ran the test,
Bingo! no dramas..
Anyway i hope this helps someone, I know this isnt the answer to some people problems but it certainly helped me and the stability of BF2 on my system!
Good luck!
