Fixed my CTD

[AAT_Jackal]

Hey all,

I sorted my CTD let me give you a run down.

I was running:

P4 2.8GHz H/T
512mb samsung RAM
2X 120GB HD
FX 5200 128mb:cry:
250w PSU
driver 77:30

Yes i had to run BF2 on low settings for a while until my upgrade but it ran ok with the stutter and all that you get with the low end cards and RAM.

I added another 512mb kingston RAM and a 6600GT 128mb thats when the probs started i was getting CTD's between 2-20 mins in game sometimes the game didnt boot up at all, now im not a tech with pc's so iv been trawling the net for the info i needed and couldnt find the exact same problem so i did a format and it was still the same so i had another format and the only thing i did diffrent was to install MS updates before i installed SP1 iv had 2 days of non stop sweet looking bf2 with a mix of high and mid settings.

hope this helps someone out there cuz ur missing a great game.

if you need to know any other details of my system just ask

Your PSU is a peice of crap. I'm surprised the 6600GT isn't throwing a fit. Consider upgrading to a 400+ Watt PSU.

It must be a very good PSU then because that's low for todays standards.

Yeah a 550 can carry a 7800GTX as of right now. Unless you plan on in the future of running dual 78's. I feel your pain of having a 5200. I use to have one back in the medal of honor days. Horrid card.

Re: Fixed my CTD

yeah the 7800GTX looks good but im gonna have to stick with the 6600gt for now it gives me what i need to play bf2, maybe il look into more upgrades next year but duel 7800GTX's sound sweet but im all spent up on my upgrade budget for now:cry:

as for the fx5200 it did get me by and it managed to support duel monitors so i could play bf2 (on low settings) on 1 screen and run bf2cc admin control for our server on the 2nd screen:blabla:
