Ok.... So about 2 weeks ago, I reformated my hardrive. I then installed all the necesary stuff and then just a couple days ago I installed a new Seagate 300gb SATA drive.... For some reason I was having problems with Windows recognizing the drive. But now I got it working and I partitioned it into 2 secotrs. ~200gb and titled it games, the other ~100gb and titled it media, for my music and movies.... So yesterday I installed BF2 to my "games" directory into a folder called BF2.... Then right after that, I didn't install any patches and install the Special Forces expansion.. It automaticly patched to 1.1, not the newest 1.3 though.... I then left it... Just now I put in my BF2 disc to make sure what version it was running and it wouldn't start.... I tried patching to 1.3 and it wouldn't finish the patch... I tried playing SF and it wouldn't load either.... So then I uninstalled both of them and then when I tried loadig the first disc to BF2, my computer restarted without saying anything..... WTF happened....
 
So I thought that part of it not loading could be caused from directx for some reason.... So I went into the directx options in the control panel and did a Directx diag test to make sure it was campatible with all my drivers.... It did the test, but when I clicked next page to see the results, it restarted again.....
 
I'm gunna try manually installing the newest directx....

I wen tot microsoft's website and found there was a new realease on Dec. 20, 2005.... I hate using microsofts's stuff this early from release.... But the funny thing is that it doesn't even say what version it is, just the release date....
 
I read on the Bf2 forums, when you install BF2 you have to download that big 280MB 1.12 patch, then install special forces, then reinstall the 1.12 patch.
