Thread Question:

Hi, I've been playing BF2 for a few weeks now and until now it's been running perfectly. The crashing started happening after I installed Catalyst 6.4. Now I have DHzeropoint 6.4. I uninstalled properly (used driver cleaner and ATI remove tools to remove pervious driver) and installed properly(WDM then the drivers). I just have no idea why it's crashing. It's getting more frequent too. I seem to crash within 10 minutes of joining a game. The screen goes black saying no video source on my Dell 19" LCD, but I can hear all the background sounds.
My specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
ASUS K8V-X Motherboard
1GB DDR400 PC3200 SDRAM
ATI All In Wonder 9800 Pro
Many people have this kind of problem. Problem with K8V-X and ATI video card.

hi,

did you change your desktop resolution to match that of bf2? This could be your problem?

Also i have another 2 suggestions..

1. Try disabling the vsync in your settings as it might heaten things up in the ati card.

2. does your hard drive has any problems? did you try defragmenting ? try that.

i have heard that many frequent crashes are because of hard disk problems?
