Not too bad. What are your other system specs?

AMD 2800 (2.1Ghzish)
1GB RAM
Radeon 9700 Pro


I am having a very strange issue. I have a Radeon 9700 pro (no overclocking, actually have an aftermarket heatsink/fan that is the size of the card!) on an AMD 2.somethingish ghz(i'll get exact specs when i go home), 1 gig of RAM.

I was playing BF2 fine on low settings for about a month and out of nowhere began to receive two different problems.

1.) At some point while playing (either loading, or after 2 hours) the screen will get COMPLETELY distorted, picture high resolution multicolored ASCII characters. The game is still running and I can hit ESC and quit out to the desktop where my desktop looks like that as well until I reboot.

2.) Completely random reboots w/o a BSOD (it is not set to auto-reboot). This also happens when not playing BF2, but this just began with problem #1.

Things to note:
System temperature: 39 deg Celsius
CPU Temp : 55 deg Celsius
Overheating doesn't seem to be an issue
Video card seems to be seated properly
RAM never has been a problem in nearly 2 years
Relatively fresh installation of WinXP

I intend to run a memory test and begin troubleshooting more advanced when I get home. Can anyone shed any light?

Re: ATI Users

Hi,

CTD, have re-installed bf2 and patch 1.21.

Please help me here.

Is this info enough or ... ?

Have updated driver to my ATI X850 (Dell E173fp).

Catalyst 06.3

Best regards,

Re: ATI Users

Ok here is the solution to my CTD problem; it crashes right when you start up and blink black a couple times before doing it.
My solution was setting my refresh rate to 85; it was previously 75 and 70 but those do not seem to work with 1.21 anymore. So just mess around with your monitor settings and make sure they have the right drivers if they need them at all.
My system is a
AIW 9800 Pro 128
1 Gig PC3200 Corsair
Seagate 120 Gig
Nforce 2 MB with built in sound

Re: ATI Users

ATI Radeon x700 PCIe

P4 3.0 Ghz
2G DDR2 Ram
MSI NEO Platinum Mother Board
120 GB HDD (SATA)

I get good pings and around 90-95 fps Avg. yet lag like crazy. Even set all options to low and changed display to 600x800 with no change in lag. I've tried everything suggested (except reformat) and still lag like crazy. I rarely have a CTD problem.

Everything was fine before 1.2 I thought 1.21 was the fix...it was not.

I believe the problem has been fixed. I noticed that it only began when I installed 1.2.1 on the old machine and it occurred again once I swapped in a new hard drive (with a known good configuration) as soon as 1.2.1 was installed. I surmised that since it was a video problem that 1.2.1 was conflicting with my ATI Catalyst drivers (current), so on a lark I took someones advice from these boards, cleaned out my drivers and installed omega drivers. I played for a solid 2-3 hours with no problems whatsoever, let us just hope it continues!

Re: ATI Users

Latest development on my pc:
- ctd prob with 1.21, trying to install Euro Force.

- today I was succesful at downloading Euro Force. But it would not be installed because it needed bf2 to be in version 1.21 (which I had patched a couple of times onto the game).

So now I have bf2, patched to 1.21, but it's not 1.21.

How did that happen? (retorical question)

I also have reinstalled the whole circus - to no avial.

I just have onbe thing to say now: §!#¤%&@£€½

Re: ATI Users

Sorry, Widkidone
It was just a follow-up on my earlier posts. My Dell 8400 with an ATIx850 card is not acting up. Can't start bf2 after patching to 1.21. There have been others with wimilar problems.
