@SteveZee I can now confirm this crash also occurs in Galactic Assault and most likely in every game mode available. I have installed the latest version of the Nvidia drivers and this solved all stuttering issue for now, but did not prevent the game from crashing. I assume that my hardware most be fine to run this game, because my PC is not even one year old and the components of my pc are above minimum requirements for running this game.

Have you run a stress tester on your system at all? If not, you can't really say what the problem is. It could very well be hardware based. If its crashing on all game modes, its unlikely its BF2, but i could be wrong. You might consider running scan disk or SFC /Scannow in a command console.  See what happens.

You could check Nvidia forums and see if anyone else is getting the same problems with your graphics card.

    @SteveZee Running sfc /scannow has repaired some corrupted files, however it did not solve my crashing problem.

    Yeah the best thing you can do now is establish a baseline by running a game that stresses your system as much as BF2. Run either a stress tester, or another game. Tomb raider probably isn't strong enough.

    @SteveZee I do not have any games that have an equal effect on my system as Star Wars Battlefront II. But what if my hardware has not been the problem after all, what would you have recommended doing then?

    @SteveZee I think I have fixed something to the problem by performing a clean reboot. I have played four whole matches in a row without crashes. Unfortunately, when I wanted to write this message during the waiting time of the match and I headed back into the game it crashed again. Maybe the game does not like things going on in the background.

    Alt tabbing maybe. Try reproducing it again. Play as much as possible then alt tab, do some things, and go back.

    To be sure you'd have to DL something like GPU-Z monitory , or stress test with unigine heaven, or intel xtreme tuning utility, to see if there is anything strange happening. But if its not hardware, then that leaves the Graphics driver, or BF2 itself. However, you're getting crashes in any game mode, and not just showdown, so its likely more than just Bf2. Unless direct X is corrupted and needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled. That's a possibility.

    @SteveZee Does MSI Afterburner have the same features as GPU-Z, because I got MSI Afterburner already installed? I do not want to install unnecessary programs.

    Any program that will check all the available GPU metrics will work. MSI afterburner might work if it gives you all of them. GPU Z is a simple program. Easy DL. YOu dont have to use it. It was just a suggestion. My intent was to try to get you to check and see what your GPU is actually doing. To see if it is having issues somewhere.
