In BF2, I'm getting an unusual problem since installing 1.3. I'll be playing cheerfully (or not so cheerfully - arty gets on my wick!) when suddenly BLAM! The screen goes black for a second and then the comp is restarting. This has never happened to me before in 200+ hours of BF2, and yet has happened twice within an hour of 1.3 play.
Any fixes, ideas, etc? The comp is always 100% stable apart from this, so I find it hard to believe that I've got some kind of problem, especially since it coincided with 1.3. I've never had random resets in the almost two years I've had it.
No crashes to speak of (the occasional game CTDs, but everyone gets that). No problems at all. It's always been very stable. No overclock is present.
Apparently the restart is caused by a windows stop error generated by a device driver. Not very specific but that's all the windows site told me when I clicked 'send error' after the comp rebooted.
My specs, although they don't matter and will generate sneers, are:
celeron D 2.53ghz
768mb PC2700 ram
9800pro w/arctic cooler
