I upgraded from a AMD 2800+ 64 to a AMD 3400+ 64, yeah i know it still sucks but when i havnt got alot of money thats all i got to go with for now... Well anyways i put the new cpu in and everything myself, and when i came to play BF2 it wouldnt start up, so i uninstalled it, and did a reinstall etc, and still it wouldnt start up.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

set affinity to one core using the task manager, by right clicking on bf2 then set affinity uncheck the boxes so there is only one box checked

Exactly what he said, you only want the game to run on one of the cores as its not desinged with dual in mind.  I agree with killinzero1 though, whenever I install new hardware I always reformat.

Define "not start up", as in you click the icon and NOTHING HAPPENS AS ALL, or you get a black screen and it closes?

If you get a black screen, when you uninstall (to reinstall) did you select to save profiles? If you picked to save the profiles try going to "My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache" (and mods\xpack\cache if you have sf) and delete all the folders inside the cache folder.
