BattleField 2 Problems

[Kawn]

Rofl sorry about the "F-bomb" but I'm just really mad! Could anyone give me any feedback? And try to use simpletons terms because I'm kind of slow when it comes to this type of stuff :P

[duckhunter-deux]

Well, what are your exact system specs? We can help more if we know. Do you have the latest drivers for all your components?

[Kawn]

Can you tell me exactly what you need to know? Because I'm at that "DirectX Diagnostic Tool"

Got battlefield 2, drivers installed, game goes back to desktop, i have, Amd, athlon 64processor, msi k8n neo2 mother board, 1 gig of ram, ddr ram, great power supply, nvidia grforceTi 4200 agp8x, is this video card not good enough, THNX folks

BF2 doesn't support any gf4 card, you would need to do some tweaking to be able to start up bf2 on your card, but you will get a lot of artifacts and you will only be able to play it at the lowest settings.

Upgrade your graphics card.

well since everyone seems to be talking about BF2 here (cough) i was wondering will this system setup work?

*ABit IC7-G
Intel P4 HT 3.00E Ghz (Prescott Model)
1 GB RAM (Corsair ValueSelect 2x512MB, Dual Channel)
200GB WesternDigital IDE, 8MB Cache, 7200RPMS HD
ATI Radeon x700 AGP, 256MB GDDR3 RAM
DVD/CD Combo Drive 16x DVD read, 48x Cd read (no burner...>.< yet)
and just random stuff like...
PCI Wifi Card (54Mbps D-Link)

and all that running through a Cox Cable Connection at 256Mbps in Arizona...

Highly unlikely.....

Well, for his specs, they should work, but you can see how well BF2 is working for everyone else...funny thing is that I have not had a single problem!

[Xtreeme]

"funny thing is that I have not had a single problem!"

same here but I count myself lucky so far. Many have said it worked fine till one day.............then bang.

[EXreaction]

LOL, well, I guess it could be that I havent played it since the day I bought it!
I just can't stand to play the game, there is no real excitment in it, I would much rather play halo, and I have beaten the sp mode on halo what like 40 times now? I just slaughter everyone on MP to(except the guy that runs the server, and is as good as me at the game(ping of 0 is awsome, but nobody joins my servers. ).

I've had what some might call a pretty bad experiance with Battlefield 2. My computer had been acting up in the past week, and now it has acted up so much that it will not run hardly at all. In normal xp, I cannot run a program without a lockup, and sometimes I will not even get past the XP loading screen without a lockup. In safe mode, lockups are just as random. I haven't gotten veyr many blue screens, but the ones I have gotten are Machine_Check_Exception. That error usually has to do with some kind of hardware error.

One of my friend's just got a new video card, high speed internet, and BF2, and he said on the first day he got it he got the same problems as I. His computer would simply not boot, and he took it to a local computer store, and they replaced his mobo, and that was the remedy. So i'm guessing that somehow BF2 killed my mobo. My computer is only 7 months old, I built it myself but I don't see how my mobo could've broken down this fast. I'm almost positive my mobo is broken down because I had to take one of my DIMMS out for my computer to be able to even boot, but the problems still arises. When it worked well enough in normal mode, my computer would lock up every time I plugged in my iPod. My floppy controller would also decide to randomly have errors and I would have to diable it. Battlefield 2 would lock up a couple of minutes into the game and leave me with a static-type noise.

So I'm guessing that BF2 somehow killed my mobo. It was the only major software install i'd had in a while, and my last hardware change was adding another DIMM about a month ago.

????? I have, Athlon 3200t, 1.8 cpu,neo 2 mb,60 hard drive,extra big heat cink, and big power supply. Is the radeon 9800 pro, 128, a good video card, new 249.00 $, a good deal and will it work ok, thnx, herbasidal

[RamonGTP]

I HIGHLY doubt BF2 killed your motherboard... I don't even see how that is physically possible.

Your right, it is not possible.

[duckhunter-deux]

TheForceUser it sounds like you may have had some bad RAM that finally crashed your system. If you had to take a stick out just to boot, that usually means you've got memory issues.

And like beastgreeley said, BF2 will not fry your mobo.

[boltyboyno1]

I once thought that the Install of Star Wars:KOTOR killed my PSU.....but then i kick myself in the balls for being so stupid.

A 6600GT would be much better, and it is only $150 USD at newegg.com

Yeah something died in my computer, and it wasn't the RAM. I tested it out in my brothers computer and it worked fine. I thought I fixed it when when I took a stick out, but the problems were still around with just 1 stick of RAM. That was only once too, now it's not booting again. I tested my hard drive in my brothers computer, and I get a blue screen about 5 second into booting up, every single time. So it could be my HD, could be my Windows installation...reinstalling windows is the last thing I want to do, since i'd be out 5 GB of music/videos/other files. If I have to though, i'll do that.

-EDIT- I only thought it was a fried mobo since my buddy had to replace his motherboard after getting BF2...one day to be exact. Hopefully just a coincidence.

[nwo75200]

RAM is really really hard to burn/die, it's probably the last component that's going to fail in your entire PC. RAM problems usually occur because of incompatibility with the mobo or the different brands/speeds/specs, not because there is something physically wrong with the RAM modules.

Yep, looks like it's your HDD. I've got one suggestion....

Take your HDD to your friend's PC, make sure that his HDD is master and yours is a slave, and you boot into windows with your friend's HDD, then try to recover the files from your HDD You can usually press F11 or something like that to select boot device on POST, but it may vary from system to system, so the main thing to do is connect your HDD to his PC and make sure that you boot with his HDD and not yours

[TheForceUser]

Yup, i've done that, and I can access the hard drive, but one problem; I can't access my files. All it says is that asscess is denied. I can access the admins files, guets files, program files, WINDOWS files, but I can't touch my documents. The file with everything in it .
