LMAO! There is no GeForce 7700. Only 7100, 7300, 7600, 7800 and 7900/7950.icecreamgod wrote:
yeah it seems most definitley like a video card or graphics issue. if you aren't looking to spend like 600 plus bucks on the newest GeForce, thats understandable. just go with a GeForce 7 series and update your graphics driver with whatever brand you have. Say you have GeForce, check the GeForce website and download the correct one, lets say GeForce 7700 Windows XP 32bit (so you download that same one if thats yours and see if its any better).
If the freezing continues, check the amount of ram you got, ram is cheap and easily upgradable so that wouldn't be too hard. good luck man, i hate having computer issues, i just bought the top of the line alienware and i had to send it back because they gave me a bad Mobo.
And i do that how, and that does what?Ey3 wrote:

my bad, i was under the knowledge that there was one. my mistake. i have a geforce 8800 gtx, so i figured they would just make the numbers somewhat similar. once again, my badFreezer7Pro wrote:

Ontopic:
Re-install DirectX (Go to Windows Update, should be in the start menu) or from the BF2 DVD. And get your specs in the thread! Go to Run and type 'dxdiag'. If you don't get what to write, just take a screenshot. Re-patch BF2. That usually works for most issues. And do you get a black screen on any other 3D apps?
P.S. It's Intel Pentium D, dual-core, not 'two of them'
wouldnt recomend this unless you know what your doing.Ey3 wrote:

This works like a charm, problems solved.Cheers for the advice everyone. O, and kylie, this isnt a new CPU, it's a whole new PC, bought it to upgrade it. Next step is at least 1gb more ram (It only came with 1gb )Ilocano wrote:

1. If running a Dual Core processor, load up Battlefield 2, press alt-tab to go to your desktop. Open up task Manger by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL Once! Then right click on BF2.exe and set its Affinity to 0, Basically this tells it to use only processor 0, not 0 and 1.
Likely item 1 or an underpowered PSU.
