Re: BF2 keeps crashing after new ram
This may be an indirect issue....for me, BF2 ran well on medium settings until I got new ram, and then I was able to put the settings up to High. Everything runs fine but I have the same crash to desktop error. After checking the temperatures on my video card, I noticed that the heat was getting way too high when I was playing, probably leading to the card over heating and the game crashing. I know this to be true because I can play othe less intensive games and everything will be fine. So maybe you should check your video card temperatures if you have raised your settings and look at getting an after market cooler or at least blowing the dust off your fan.

Re: BF2 keeps crashing after new ram
do you know what your rig specs are? ie/ cpu speed, memory amount in mbs/ graphics card, go in to bios and check ram speeds, try downloading cpuz and running the program to determine what ram you have, if your mobo is dual channel try putting a stick in each slot, ie, a stick in dimm 1 slot and a stick in dimm 3 slot?

You are lucky to have all of us here who can help you. I take pleasure in helping ppl out on PC problems and I learn along the way. No sweat, calm down and do the followings:
Solution 1:
go to this website -> http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php. You should see "Download Latest version" and CPU-Z 1.33 near the top left hand corner of the page. Just save it and run the exe file named "cpuz.exe". YOu have several tabs there CPU, Cache, Mainboard, Memory, SPD, About. Go to the SPD tab. There it shows you 3 slots according to your information given. Check Max Bandwidth setting and report back.
Solution 2:
Remove the 2 512MB old ram sticks, leaving the new one 1024MB there. Run again, no need to reinstall. See if the same happens again. No need to fall back to medium settings. Report back& good luck!!
