good news =) i got the error message =P the error message on the blue screen is DRIVER_IRQL_IS_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bad news... i have no idea what it means =0
i just had a quick chek of the info u gave, and it appears ur system is more than capable. i'm assuming it only happens in this game. which means your memory is not faulty. it could be worth updating your video card drivers and game. that's all i can think of really
i updated video card driver of nvidea still bsoding... i checked event viewer and... Faulting application GoogleUpdate.exe, version 1.2.131.7, time stamp 0x48af14ef, faulting module GoogleUpdate.exe, version 1.2.131.7, time stamp 0x48af14ef, exception code 0x80000003, fault offset 0x00006eef, process id 0xfa4, application start time 0x01c998f99f4ecb32.

BITS has encountered an error communicating with an Internet Gateway Device. Please check that the device is functioning properly. BITS will not attempt to use this device until the next system reboot. Error code: 2147954429.
i have suspicion that it's the memory. ok, i've done some research for you, and my memory suspicion appears to be correct. you say you have 2gb of memory. i hope it's not 1x2GB is it? if it's more than one, then leave 1 in, and take the rest out and see if it works. (basically, test 1 memory at a time to identify the faulty memory) if you have 1x2gb memory then obviously you'd have to purchase another to test it. Important Note: i have no experience if this will resolve your issue. Proceed at own risk. I cannot be held responsible. Have a nice day you may want to look at this http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/6077.mspx?mfr=true
ok it is 2x1Gb's.. so i will try that and report back =P thanks dude.. and btw if i keep bluescreening im buying a new computer anyway so i dont care if i muck it up =)
you wont muck it up. i only said all that because inexperienced users risk damaging, and also, the advice required purchase which didn't necessarily resolve the issue. so to be on the safe side, i added the note. in your case, there is no money related advice and the job is quite easily done
i tried both sticks of ram individually.. still crashing. i got the first bit of the error code one of the times though. 0x000000D1 (0x8752B602 ..........................................) i didnt get the rest.
ok , so it's not the ram, it is most likely what microsoft says, drivers. (or both sticks of ram) where do you get your drivers from? recovery disc? manufacturer's website? or third party? if you get it third party, i'd recommend 1) make a system restore point 2) uninstall 3rd party drivers and install genuine manufacturer's drivers (from their site or disc)
ok i used DriverMax to install basically all of my drivers but i have not installed any from there for months and i got the nvidea driver of nvidea.com the crashes only started about a week ago. so is it an outta date driver?
nah bf2142 crashed... that is stange. i got the error STOP 0x000000D1 (0x8c5c9Bc2 0x00000002 0x00000008 0x8c5c9Bc2)
