I have a really odd blue screen error.
First, it only happens in vBF2, not PR, haven't checked BF2SF yet.

What happens is: I run BF2, do whatever and close it, then run it again at which point it freezes on login screen, gives me a blue screen error and PC restarts. It doesn't matter how much time passes in between closing it and running it again.

I have turned off auto-restart so I can get a look at the blue screen error next time it occurs, but I only caught the title so far: driver IRQL not less or equal.

I can't do this again atm because I'm generating some stuff in the background and don't want to crash it, but what I have got from the system log is a minidump file name, if that's any use. (attached to post)

For the possible fixes, I have only defragged my PC so far, made no change.

Defragmenting using 3rd party program can cause system instability as you are experiencing it right now, some files might have been currupted.

In your dump file I found the BSOD error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL It appears to be a driver problem which leads me to suggest:
0. google "BSOD 0x000000D1"
1. Get latest drivers (esp. gfx, if you updated lately try reverting)
2. run "chkdsk c: /r" to repair possibly corrupted system files
3. run memory check to see if your ram might be damaged

also: Please state some system specs when asking for help, esp. when your problem is a possible hardware fault.

I didn't use a 3rd party defrag, didn't find anything w/ Google yet.

I did get latest drivers and updated, but I got the blue screen before and after that.
