BF2 Graphic problem

I seem to be getting this a lot recently, the textures start to go black and if you use zoom on your weapon the screen goes black too. after awhile it will then crash to desktop with no error messages.

everything is patched up to date

could you post computer specs

Looks like the memory on the card is cooking up. What's the temps under load ?
When was the last time you had the sidepanel off and dusted out the fans etc ?

E6400 X1900GT 2Gb ram all stock and the pc is clean was only built 3months ago and i cleaned it the other week too. Pc runs at High 30s and graphics card runs at about 60-70 under gaming

That temp should be fine as far as I know. Maybe you might want to re-install drivers?

I have been having a very similar problem sometimes when i look through a scope everything goes black and the other day all a few abjects where going black :confused:

Clear the cache, reboot, don't alt-tab out after you've loaded a map, sorted.

It's a common problem with ATi cards, I got it on my X1800 usually after a very long gaming session or after alt-tabbing out in the middle of a map.

how do you clear the cache

MyDocuments/Battlefied2/mods/BF2/cache

Delete the folders in the cache file then BF2 will reset your shadow files.
Then leave the options ALONE.

nVidia all the way

Looks like a driver problem to me tbh.
