Ok, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but we don't have a troubleshooting section to this forums.
This usually happens during BF2 play, or sometimes during general use...
now, what happens is that in some cases, my screen will freeze and spit out the last .01 second of sound over in over resulting in a very loud moise (cannot describe it very well) kinda like when i CD skips, only much much faster...
The other thing that happens is that BF2 will CTD (probably software issues with the game) or, the whole computer will restart. In detail, the game will freeze for a second, i'll hear the HDD spin down and then the whole computer re-boots. This happens during normal usage, game play or even while i've locked the computer with music playing.
now, details on my system...
i have just recently flashed the BIOS on my motherboard, so everything is up to date.
I have updated to the latest 5.13 Catalyst drivers.
I have the Nforce 4 chipset drivers installed on my motherboard, i'm guessing they're generic, because they came on a maximumPC CD that came out this x-mas.
Whenever it crashes, my computer gives me the send error report, i do, and it says that it has something to do with drivers, but all of them are updated..
Also, the PSU that i am currently using, the SATA plug, and the PCI-E modular connector has failed, so i am replacing the PSU ASAP.
What i think is wrong with it is either, the PSU, Mobo, CPU, or video card....
i might be able to knock the video card out of the equation one i get my new one sometime in january.
thank you for helping, sparky
also, my specs are in sig..
PS: i have also ruled out cooling, as i have adequate cooling for my computer, with a zalman 7000CU( the big 120mm all copper one)
this might also be a memory problem, but i only have had enough time to run one cycle of memtest86 on the computer and have recieved no errors.
again, thanks for your help, sparky
