Battlefield Vietnam problems

[resu]

I just installed BFV again and the install went perfectly ...
when i loaded up the game it worked fine etc etc and i played a single player map just to get back into the controls of the game, but after the battle finished i clicked on the icon to return to the main menu but ... the screen went blank and then the splash screen showed up and finally the game exited to my desktop with the rez set to stupidly low settings
i was pretty annoyed that the single player didnt work properly but BF games are mainly for multiplay so i logged on to a decent server and started to play again but when the server changed mapps the same thing happend :S it exited to my desktop!!!

i was just wondering if anyone had ever had this problem before and if anyone knew how to fix it !!

i've tried the EA tech support but all they do is send me an automated reply which i've followed and it still doesnt work!!

i've also DLed all the patches and i've installed them one at a time and ive tried the game between each patch upgrade but still nothing!!

plz help
thx for your time

System specs?

Also, do you have an AGP graphics card because the game requires it. It also must have TnL capabilities.

my specs are:
Athlon 3200xp
1gb RAM 400FSB
160GB HDD (2x80gb)
GeForce 5200 256mb AGP
Creative sound card

and thats about it i know my gfx card is overdue for an upgrade

but anyways hope this helps thx for the help

Are you overclocking anything? If so, dont overclock. Also, make sure you have the correct DirectX version and that nothing is overheating. Maybe it's bad RAM?

nope everything is standard no gfx card tweaks either ..
i dunno about teh RAM tho... i doubt its bad RAM coz i woudl get an error saying "memory could not be referenced etc etc " or something along those lines
but thx for the help so far i hope a solution can be found

cheers guys
