while loading Basrah and Sunset, it gave me a blue screen and the pc restarted
i hope this is not causing any harm to my computer

i was able to play Qwai fine though

In the computer industry we normaly just call that a computer crash =p

if they keep causing a BSoD try reinstalling the mod, it should recopy the map files.

but dude, I JUST INSTALLED
yeah i deleted all the cache

I get this with vBF2 and any mod... I have a p4 with an ATI 9800... right now I'm experimenting with my vid card cooling and putting extra fans on it just to make sure its not overheating. If I figure anything else out I'll let you know.

that is exactly what i used to have. i have sent my laptop to be repaired (so no .5 for me) and they say they are replacing memory (RAM)

Which P4? For the longest time I ran with the 3.2ht and 9800pro/later 9800xt before I did a complete upgrade.

i've never had this problem with vbf2 or any mod including pr 0.25, pr 0.3 and pr 0.4
so it's a 0.5 specific problem for sure

I had this SAME exact problem and boy was it a *****! I recently upgraded my card and I havent had any problems. I upgraded from a 9800 128mb to a nVidia 7600 GT 256mb.

yeah looks like its definitely the 9800 that has a problem. I have a 2.4ghz P4 btw but I don't think that really matters.

Hmm never had a prob with my 9800pro.... While you are running a pretty old P4 you should have no prob running things on low, or medium if your feeling lucky.

dudes, for god's sake
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PC CONFIG, simply because the problem NEVER occured before 0.5

happened again a minute ago while loading EJOD

ok i'm getting pissed off, it happened just now again when loading Sunset (again)

windows indicates the error occured here:

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini021007-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Luiz\CONFIG~1\Temp\WER3.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

BCCode : a BCP1 : C104027E BCP2 : 00000002 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 80578971 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 0_0 Product : 256_1

Luizinhuu, upload the minidump to a file hosting service.

Also run extensive memory check with memtest (http://www.memtest.org) and also stability test during 8+ hours with SP2004 (if you use a single core processor) or Orthos (if you run a dual core processor)

i'll insist, this NEVER occured on any game or application here, it's a 0.5 problem only

and it's still happening...

happened now 2 times in a row while loading, coincidentally, Sunset City. on the 1% of loading....

i still want some official help here

my problem is my vid card overheating. I've got a giant fan on it to prevent it, but I wont be able to help you out, sorry.

what error message does windows give when it restarts? mine gave me a messaging saying critical error caused by ATI catalyst drivers.

still waiting

Hmm I have no idea what it could be, I'll see who's on MSN right now and message someone.

What server were you on? Because GHz West has a different PR version then all other servers (its a public beta pretty much)

it happens on random servers

unfortunately I'm inclined to say some part of your hardware is deteriorating. I've fixed computers that have shown this behavior before where the time left until the next crash was smaller with every restart. I would say take Crisao23's advice because a minidump is simply windows dumping memory for later analysis upon recovery and doesn't really say anything else about the error.
