Random crashes

[Jager]

Ok well, I guess its best to start with my system specs.

amd Athalon xp 2200+ 2.2 ghz
ati Radeon 9200 128 mb (Overclocked to ~180)
1 gb ram
Sound Blaster Audigy SE

I can run the game on 1024x768 and all the high settings my card can support and I usually get about 30-40 FPS. So I shouldnt be expecting to crash right? Well, almost every game I play my BF2 randomly crashes and then restarts my computer.

When the computer boots back up it tells me there was an unexpected shutdown because my video card could not draw something fast enough. I do not understand this since the game appeared to be running perfectly smooth?

Also, I selected to run my audio on hardware with high quality and EAX which I use in all my other games fine, but when I get in game the voices lag and stutter, but the rest of the n game sounds are fine. This goes away when I lower the sound, but thats no fun

I can run guild wars, elder scrolls oblivion, half life 2, prey demo, americas army, and lots of other high end machine games fine with no problems like i get in BF2. If anybody has an explanation or solution to my problem I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: Random crashes

or, im very suprised a 9200 can run at that resolution on high and get 30 40 fps! and an audigy se on high with eax on! omg. u sure those are really your suystem specs? your pc is unlikely to run at those settings, no wonder it crashed!

Re: Random crashes

Alright I will take apart my computer and spray the parts with the air compressor.

And venny, you must understand that my card only supports a few high settings, which makes the game still look good but I can also get a very good framerate out of my card. Doesnt matter though cause in a couple weeks im getting radeon x1600 :)

And thanks for the quick reply.
