Try reinstalling bf2(dont apply patch and see if it works) if it does work apply the patch and lower the texture to medium it might help.by the way there is a new catalyst driver 6.8 update to that one, and say what happens.

If HIV's suggestions don't help out, get "memtest" and test your RAM. That is how BF2 was acting when I had a bad stick of RAM once.

Re: what the **** is going on here

i dont use catalyst i use omega im doing memtest right now and so far no errors

maybe because i overclocked it? but i runs other games fine

core:585(used to be 540)
memory:615(used to be 590) but the ati tool says its stable?

Re: what the **** is going on here

underclock ur video card setting and see what happens, maybe other games are not stressing this card as bf2 does

Re: what the **** is going on here

if i lower it will anything happen? and how much should i lower it

Re: what the **** is going on here

return it to its default and see what happens if it still crashes then lower 15~20mhz each time untill u see a progress
I dont recommend u to go below the following because it is a waste
core:500
memory:550
this is the final option

i think it might be the patch bcause i installed just the game and it didnt freeze but now ihave to wait 1.5 hours to download the patch
