This is what happens:

I play on some server. Then, suddenly I see that I'm on my desktop. Then I look did it minimize itself but it didn't, it closed itself somehow. And when I play, I can't know when it's going to shutdown because it doesn't give me any sign like computer noises, lag or anything. This problem has appeared recently and this hasn't happened before.

Only tweak I have done is pb_sleep 500, and I have downloaded some programs. And I upgraded my ram from 512 mb to 2 Gb. Few for video editing and 2 for emulating dvd-drive. But this is so weird I'm not sure if anyone can solve it, because my computer doesn't really give me any hints when it suddenly shutdowns bf.

Yea I found that virtual memory place, but what I need to change in there? I used google but there was only links about where to go to adjust virtual memory.

Umm what does it help if I run it in windows mode? And I get no error message, I just play normally and then in the twinkling of an eye I'm at desktop and my computer is veery silent, nothing what could mean stress or heating of my computer and it's as silent as my computer is in idle. Usually as I quit playing bf2 my computer makes some little noises and then gets quiet but when this happens I can't even hear those little sounds!

I hope ya undertand my english, 'cause I'm from finland. (Who knows where Finland is?)

Good neighbors heh right...

We still have grudge against russian because we had war on them and they took piece of our country. As you can see, from looking how big russian is you can imagine how fair that war was. And they come to finland into one waterpark what is near the border line and some of them don't use swimsuit they use just their underwear! And that's one more reason for us to hate Russia.

Sweden. We kinda hate them. (Not very much, but like big brother teases little brother and we are the little brother because first finland was just part of sweden.) Reasons: 1. Sweden always beats finland in ice hockey in final match. 2. They have better country and they are better people. 3. We have to study their language in school and that's pain in the ass, and what makes it more unpleasent is that u know u will almost never in your life need to speak swedish!

Estonia. When you go to there if you don't keep good care of your wallet or you will be robbed in minutes. Happens usually like this: Two womans come to you. They try to sell you Abidas (Yes Abidas not Adidas) shirt and even if you say many times you don't want it they will follow you. The trick is here that the other one is distracting you and the other is putting her hand to your pocket where your wallet is.

We don't have anything against Norway I think... Looks that we hate our neighbors in a way or another...

I know this is going to interest no1, but I like the idea where Finland would be famous country someday... (Conan O'Brien has bored you with his Finland jokes right?)

And here's a picture of euro coin, where you can see nordic countries (That's not fake picture it's real coin, every 1 and 2 euro coins look like that!):

And oh, that map above is not the truth. Look here so you can see how big Finland is compared to Russia (That was fair war): http://www.mapsofworld.com/finland/maps … -world.gif There you can see Finland as red, and the very big country just next to finland at east is Russia.

I had the same thing when I changed my ram from 512 to 1mb of geil dual channel (my mobo aint dual channel thoough dont know if this was the problem) but it was definately something to do with the ram, the game would just shutdown and drop back to desktop, but as soon as I put my old ram back in, no problem, needless to say I didnt keep this ram...

I had the same problem with my computer when I put more ram into it. The problem is the virtual memory, you have to go to the virtual memory menu and up your memory to the highest; your computer doesn't do this atomaticaly so that's what's a pane. I have some instructions you can fallow to fix the problem all I need to know is what kind of op. system your computer has: XP, 2000, xps.....

I got XP home edition.

//Edit: Do you know why I can't put more than 2 Gb ram into this? (Motherbard supports up to 4 Gb ram) Like I first got 512 mb, then I bought two 1 Gb sticks and added them to my computer, but my computer only recognised 2 sticks, contingent upon where I placed those stick but it _never_ recognised more than 2 Gb. (It should have recognised 2 Gb + 512 mb but it couldn't recognise more than 2 gb.) I thought that it may be about the virtual memory max. amount of virtual memory thing...

I have the same problem and I've recently upped my 512mb to 1.5gb. However, I've already maxxed out my virtual memory, I've increased it to the maximum a long long LONG time ago. But still, the crashing doesn't really annoy me that much as it doesn't happen that often. It usually happens during after Verification Client and the game is just starting.

Also I have to wait in a loading time twilight zone, where I cannot spawn or anything, objects and soldiers don't appear yet, just console messages flying by and chat logs. Then slowly one by one things appear, like objects in the menu and then finally the soldiers. THEN I can select a spawn point,kit and play ^_^

Anyone have this too?

Set it to about the same amount of Ram you have. I have a computer with 1.5Gb RAM. It's set to 1501
I have another computer with 2Gb RAM. It's set to 1000.

I had that crash issue when I upped my RAM on the 1.5Gb RAM machine.

There's a few things I'd check other than just virtual memory.  Is the ram that you bought the same brand/type/clock speed etc as the ram you had in your computer to start out with?  Also, did you make sure that the auto detect setting for the clock speed actually detected correctly?  There's always a chance it didn't set it correctly and you'd need to change the setting in the BIOS. 

If you know the clock speed you can download a program like cpuz to see what all of your ram sticks are running at. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php is where you can download it.

When I bought the game I crashed to desktop about 4/5 times, and used this fix : http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?sls=2&tstart=0&threadID=91245 it fixed my problems, and it's always worth a try if it's making yours act up.  If it still does it after using that one I'd go ahead and change it back just in case.

Also, the part they're saying to change is these boxes : http://i6.tinypic.com/23kexdu.jpg  You said you found it already but there are the actual numbers/spaces for them.
