My son's pc I just put together reboots every time you go into an online server to play BF2?
I am very suspisious of memory dumps from ram causing this? am I right?
I have exausted all other possiblities.
Bios has been flashed / I have tried different settings in bios / I have tried different ram sticks / I have tried different video cards and sound cards / I have tried different settings in the video card / I have tried different internet connections from wireless to direct connect to modem / I have tried different video drivers / I have tried different directx versions / I have tried different power supplies. All his other games work fine. HALF LIFE 2 / C & C GENERALS ZERO HOUR and others.
Because I know BF2 is very demanding on system resources like ram video settings and such I think the system is haulted for whatever reason? then the ram is dumped, then the pc reboots. Am I on the right thinking path or not?
here is his system info.
MOTHERBOARD>> AOPEN AK86-L

RAM QTY 1 >> SUPERTALENT 512 MB PC3200 DDR400

CPU>> AMD SEMPRON 754 2800+ PIB

VIDEO CARD>> PNY Verto GeForce 6600 256MB DDR AGP Graphics Card

SOUND CARD >> Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! Sound Card

POWER SUPPLY>> Antec TrueBlue 480-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply

Howdy Enyalives,
I am definitely not a gamer, but the chatter on a search indicates EA Games has a updated memory leak patch addressing your problem. If the patch doesn't help, goto My Computer. Right click-Properties-Advanced tab-Startup and Recovery. Uncheck Automatically Reboot-click OK. This'll force the error message you can use, or post back here, to assess what is happening.
