BF2 1.50 crashing/rebooting?

Not sure if this is the right board to be asking this, but I recently reinstalled BF2, updated it to 1.50, and when I go to run the game it will just reboot my computer. Has anyone had this problem before or know how I could fix it, or even just find out why its happening?

oh, i had that problem too. Theres alot of things that cause this but its not ussually something to do with the game. I had to reinstall xp when it happend. Ill see if I can dig up the help website...

Any sites with some help would be great, and as for reinstalling XP. I havnt had BF2 installed before on this install of XP. I normally format every 6-9 months too keep the computer clean of clutter, so perhaps this has just been a bad install. It may also be I upgraded some hardware since last having the game installed too. So I guess that could be an issue, although I havnt had any problems with any other games since the upgrade, which is why I figured it may be BF2.

Bumping for some help.

sometimes the cd installer tends to fail.. ive experience it in black and white 2 had to reinstall for like 4 times just to get it working again..

just reinstalled again, but its still crashing the computer.

Bumping again, still havnt found a solution.
