Ok i played bf2 a while back and decided to get a new computer to really enjoy it
well the time has come and i got my new computer... when i went to install BF2 it took me a hell of a time getting it to install correctly and what not, so i read thru the faqs and stuff on ea.com and did what they said, so finally i got bf2 installed with out a hitch.  I went to run it with out any patches installed but all i get is the title screen then the screen will go black for a second and then return to windows like nothing happened. 

I was talking to my friend and he said to dl the 1.03 patch and install it but now i get the patch failed message.... I read thru the forums here and found a post saying tha tyou need to patch bf2 in sequential order like 1.0 then 1.02 then 1.03... now thats cool ill try that but i cant find the 1.02 patch on ea's site.

I updated my drivers for my vid cards and everything like that... But i think there might be something else going on cuz this comp is brand spanking new and im getting depressed thinking that i cant play bf2 on it.

specs cuz that might help

From a fresh install of bf2 just install 1.02 followed by 1.03. The 1.01 patch was the one with the huge memory leak which caused EA to tell everyone to reinstall.

i talked to my computer tech support people and they said the problem that i was having sounded like a ram issue, so they sent me out 2 gigs of replacement :-) hopefully it all works out now.
