What would be the best motherboard to upgrade to because im having trouble play BF2 just seems to always crash on me after 30min of gameplay.

Specs:
P4 3.0GHz
1GB RAM
160 GB HD
ATI Radeon X800 Pro

why do you think upgrading your mobo is going to help?

 

[Schurmy]

well how about you tell me another reason it would shut off by itself

 

[Schurmy]

plus i talked to someone on a battle field forum telling me he did that and when i first received my custom computer i didnt even start up the game after the load so got a new MOBO and it worked now its only working for 30min

10$ says it's an overheating or ram issue, not exatly motherboard/

 

[Schurmy]

yeah but if it was an overheating issue wouldnt it back me out of windows all itself it just booting me out of the game.

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

Well you havnt exactly described how it crashes...

 

[Schurmy]

okay when im playing Battlefield 2 ill be playing for approx. 30min maybe less playing the game in a server when after a match the screen goes black then returns back to my windows xp desktop with all your icons and stuff and everything runs fast it doesnt slow down and i have to wait for it to load a little bit it just boots me off like i never had the game going in the first place

What video card are you running? And what PSU?

Your card could be pulling too much juice from the PSU...
