BF2 probs

[Torch]

Hey guys maby you can help me. I recently installed new ram for me pc and tryed to play BF@ but it shuts down on me. Everything seems to be fine except BF@. It chrashes everytime i try to play it. This wasnt happening without the new stick of ram.

i got a new Kingston  kvr400x64c3a 512 184 pin

any ideas whats going on?

What motherboard do you have again?

[sK_Cookie]

did you run a mem_test to see if stick has a bad memory module on it.

like cookie is suggesting- your new memory stick sounds like it is bad.  Test it if you can, and RMA it.  or if you bought it in the store exchange it.

Test by playing the game with the new stick removed and then with only the new stick installed.  if it crashes with the new stick then the stick is bad if it crashes without the new stick it is your installation of BF2 or windows.

I HAVE :Motherboard
Mb manufacturer name: ASUS K8N8X-LA
HP/Compaq name: DOM-UL6E

ALSO IN SLOTA: 512 RAM DDR2 / PC3200 (two DIMMs)

INSTALLED:..Kingston kvr400x64c3a 512 184 pin  THIS STICK

any compatibility issues there with that info? Im going to run some tests still though...might have to return it.

Its the correct type of Memory.  But you said it didnt crash with any other programs except BF2?  If it were bad sticks then it wouldnt really run at all (usually will crash after boot).  Did you try and switch the sticks around?  Yea the easiest thing to do is try and get a new pair of sticks and see if that helps.

yep gona run some tests...i think the new mem is jacked...it chrashes somethings not just games....its easyer to notice in games but it chrashed other stuff the other day...ty crow

I had issues back in the day with bad ram, only crashed durring Rogue Spear, I could play CS for about an Hour and half before crashing but in RS or windows, could have died at anytime.  was one bad stick of ram.  RMA it.

I can tell you right now that it is bad RAM.  I had the same prob. about 2 years ago when I built a PC.  It crashed when I went into RVS and started to play for a little bit.  RMA that thing back ASAP.

thanks for the second good ol nem..... I think I might still have that ram tester you posted back then.

np, I want people to be happy with the product they bought.  Some people never figure the REAL problem out and send back motherboard, CPU, maybe even monitor....j/j.  How ya doing Muff?
