Hey folks,
i got a Problem with running PR on my PC. After playing a while (today it happened 30secs after i joined the game, but usually 30-90 mins) my Game Freezes and the Sound starts to Loop. I got average PC-Knowledge, so i first thougth like something is overheating. But my case has 2 190mm Fans (loud) and only PR freezes. I can play other Games (like Bad Company 2) very well. i first expirienced this like 5-4 days ago. So i thougth may its an Virus, so i ran the Virusscan. Found nothing. I updated my graphiccards driver from 9.4 to 10.3 (newest). Unfortunately this made my PC completely messed up. After logging in to my Windows-Acc i only saw an black screen with the mouse arrow. I went into secure mode and installed the ond driver again. Problem still occurs. I am at a loss now. May you can help. You can find full details of my specs here: sysProfile: ID: 23062 - Bang0o!

Regards

This awefully sounds like a hardware related issue. Overheating is one possibilty but also general hardware is possible. You should still check your temperatures.

Try with resetting your BIOS to defaults, undo all your overclocking. Maybe the CMOS config became corrupted.

Some thing easy to check is RAM, run Win7's built-in memory diagnostics tool, or use a linux live cd's memtest.

BF2 is a quite old game and has an out-dated graphics engine. It is not as optimized as BFBC2 and therefore can cause higher performance strains by supplying lower quality graphics.
