GeneralMandible Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Downloading and leaving your computer on won't overheat your video card. I would make sure you have all the patches for windows, DirectX, and Battlefield 2 installed. Also, check for BIOS updates and new drivers from ATI. If it only happens when you're playing graphics intensive games, then it could be the vid card overheating. MAke sure your case has adequate ventilation. If the heatsync on the vid card doesn't have a fan, you could add one. Hopefully some of this may help. Good luck! Edited August 16, 2005 by GeneralMandible
