Hello everyone. My friend has been having a serious problem ever since last night with BF2 on his laptop. We have played it on it forever, highest settings, and it runs smooth as silk. His card is a 7900GS, and it runs BF2 very well. All the sudden, it stopped working last night. The same exact thing happened with my media computer, which has a Mobile X300 card in it (Since it cant fit a regular card) but it still runs BF2 fine on all medium settings.

Any help?

Thanks
 
Full specs of each PC would help.

For now though, update Punkbuster. If you're using a firewall, make sure that punkbuster is allowed to connect. I've seen BF2 crash due to punkbuster. POS system of anti-cheat IMO.

Oh and to rule out a hardware problem:

- Download Memtest+ V.170, unzip it, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it, just like you would do with the XP install CD. Let Memtest+ run for at least three hours on each stick of RAM separately. Go for a full 24 hours if you want to be completely sure that the RAM is not a problem. If you start seeing errors, than your RAM is bad.
- Clean out the case. It may have a build up of dust that's causing the card to overheat.

Also, are any other apps or games crashing?
 
I can't really give full specs on his computer right now, he just took off in the U-Haul this morning, he is moving from here in Reno to Arizona. I'll have him update PB, and if not I'll get him to do that MemTest thing.

Nothing else is crashing, all other games run fine and dandy. It just stopped booting up for no reason.
