Battlefield2 problem..?

**da8** · 03-09-2006, 04:58 PM

Ok, whilst playing bf2 after awhile i will lose game sound and then after i keep on playing with out any sound for awhile say 5-10 mins my screen freezes complete forcing me to restart.

I have ruled out the following: my memory as i have ran memtest86. Overheating - nothing exceeds over 55c , so it won't be overheating either. I have installed latest drivers and dx also so, not that.. Help?

my Spec

Motherboard Name Epox EP-4PLM(I)
Company Name EPoX Europe B.V.
Realtek ac97 sound
1GB ram
graphics card 7800gs agp
power supply 500w blue storm

sounds like overheating issues to me. have you got good case ventilation, just because your temp monitors show no problems, it doesnt mean the soundcard isnt overheating, or some other componant.

if you have a room fan, take the side of the case off and point it in there and have another go.

The side is already off and i know for definite it's not overheating.

I had major trouble with the AC97 onboard sound before I switched to a Creative X-Fi.

Make sure your sound is set to software, hardware sound isn't compatable with AC97.

How do i change my agp from 8x to 4x?

I've tried doing it in my bios, but i can't seem to find it.. any help for a n00b?

Well i still haven't sorted this... update !!!!

Also whilst i'm playing sometimes the screen will just randomly freeze and go all pixelated and ****... like in the screen, forcing me to restart as i can't alt-del out of it.... please help ?

**da8** · 07-10-2006, 01:03 PM

Either the card is on it's way out or somerthing is too heavily overclocked.

**da8** · 07-10-2006, 02:53 PM

the thing is nothing is overclocked and the card is only about 3 months old ?

**chuckskull** · 07-10-2006, 02:59 PM

Try reseating the card, often fixes things.

Corruption like that usually means the graphics memory is playing up. Maybe time for an RMA?

**Badgersaur** · 07-10-2006, 04:06 PM

thats what i was gonna suggest, you usually see that sort of corruption from overheating or god forbid! faulty hardware!!!

**da8** · 07-10-2006, 04:57 PM

RMA?

And by reset you mean just take it out of the slot and put it back in.. ?

It really is annoying and i appreciate your guys opinions !

thanks

RMA - Return Material Authorization, basically returning the card because it is (or, may be faulty)

And yes, reseating just means taking it out - perhaps lightly blowing over the AGP slot and contacts to get any contamination off them - and seating it in again.

So i've tried reseating the graphic card and it did it again.. But it didn't go pixelated it just made the sound that it makes when u "shutdown your pc and the sound of restarting your pc" but the screen is still on and then the screen ingame is just froze... yet again forcing me to restart !! :cry:
