    I just installed an Intel Core2 Duo e6600, ASUS P5N-E SLI Motherboard, Sapphire ATI X1950 XT Video, and 2 GB (1GBx2) of Corsair DDR2-800 Ram.

    After playing World of Warcraft for a few days (which runs in Windowed mode by default on my system), I decided to reinstall Battlefield 2. After installation and update I tried to run the game. It started the EA intro video, then froze, and the computer restarted.

    I tried to reistall my video drivers, tried three previous versions of the drivers, reinstalled BF2, and still nothing. I ran World of Warcraft again, and it was fine. So I ran a dxdiag, and didn't get any errors. I ran the Direct Draw test in dxdiag, and the first 2 tests were fine, but the third (which runs fullscreen while the first two do not) had the same issue as when I try to run BF2. So I started up WoW, changed it to full screen, and got the same issue.

    I have updated everything I can think of but the chipset drivers. ASUS's download is going at 12 kb/s and the first time I did it the file was corrupt, so I am trying to download that again now. I have updated the BIOS, and reinstalled the latest video drivers.

    If anyone has any suggestions for what I should try next I would appreciate the input.

    Thanks in advance.

    what about your monitor? do you have the right monitor drivers?

    maybe your video card is trying rates or something that your monitor doesnt like, so its getting crapped out

    Yes i have installed the monitor driver. I also tried this on a different monitor and got the same issue.

    Just to update I have now tried an exchanged motherboard (same model), and it the full screen Direct Draw test worked once, then started having the issue again after changing the screen resolution. I changed it back to what it was the time it worked, but it still locks up every time now.
