1.3 Patch causing major comp problems.

[Dyl8]

Hello everyone.

I have recently installed the 1.3 patch for battlefield 2. And i am having some major errors.

After installing it, everything was fine with the computer itself. I have always had the crashing to desktop error. But that is not wat i am requiring your help over.

Today when i went to turn on the computer. It crashed when loading windows, to a blue screen that flashes for about 1- 1.5 seconds. i took a photo of it with my camera, and it said that there were errors with the drivers, it did not mention which drivers

Ne way, it automaticly restarts my laptop and then comes to the Safe mode option screen. With 5 options.

-Start windows normally.
-Last know Config that worked.
-safe mode
-safe mode with networking
-safe mode with command prompt

The top 2 have the same effect, and that is the blue screen appearing under the same circumstances. Networking also does the same.

3 and 5 go into safe mode, but one with a command propmt (obvisously.)

When i got into safe mode, i did a system restore, back past before i installed the 1.3 BF2 patch. But even after that, i still have the same result.

i need someones help real bad. Plz help.

Thanks for your time, Dyl8

System Specs?

1.3 is known to cause Crash to desktop (should be fixed in the 1.4 patch)

I have a feeling it was the blue screen telling you there were problems with your video drivers. I've had this annoying thing happen to me twice before. If this is th eproblem run Driver Cleaner and then reinstall your video card drivers.

I had a similar issue, here is what you can try (in order):
-Full spyware/virus scan
-Turn off all background applications before running game
-Update all drivers
-BF2 Reinstall with freshly downloaded patch from another source
-Full windows reinstall
-Full hardware diagnostic (RAM, HDD, ETC)
-Buy new rig.

Or wait for patch 1.4, hopefully it might reverse your issues.

Sorry for the noob question, i really dont know much about computers when it comes to things like this.

How can i do a driver clean and re-enstall my video cards?

Thx, Dyl8
