I just started playing PR/BF2 again. BF2 is in proper working order, along with all my other games, and the computer it self. I installed BF2, patched it up to 1.5, and have been playing it flawlessly. I just got done installing PR and have attempted to boot it up twice now. Both times resulted in a blue screen. I literary have never had a blue screen on one of my own computers before this. Is this a known issue or what? Any suggestions?

Moved to PR:BF2 Support.

Install BF2
run 1.41 update
run 1.5 update
Install PR v.917 part 1 of 2
Install PR v.917 part 2 or 2

According to Microsoft, bluescreens on NT-based Windows systems are usually caused by poorly-written device drivers or malfunctioning hardware. In the Win9x era, incompatible DLLs or bugs in the kernel of the operating system could also cause bluescreens. They can also be caused by physical faults such as faulty memory, power supplies, overheating of computer components, or hardware running beyond its specification limits. Bluescreens have been present in all Windows-based operating systems since Windows 3.1; earlier, OS/2 suffered the Black Screen of Death, and early builds of Windows Vista displayed the Red Screen of Death after a boot loader error.

Update all your drivers
change your sound in game to 'hardware' or 'software' from whatever it was.
