A couple of you guys will look at this topic and be like "wtf? I thought we told him not to use up his motherboard." Well this is something else. I'm using my dad's lappy now lol. You can't keep me away from my Battlefield 
Anywho, I know for a fact that this has enough power to run the game. These are some specs:
(It's an HP Pavilion btw)
AMD Turion 64 Mobile ML-34
1.79GHZ, 512mb RAM (two sticks of PC2700 256mb *shudders*)
Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2
ATI Radeon Xpress 200M (ewww)
I'm pretty sure that I have all updated drivers, but I'll check to make sure. If I don't make an edit, then that means I do.

wodjamean *shudders* ??
In my book the games are the most system stressing things you can do to a PC so this means everything must be A1 for it all to work without falling over all the time.
Add to this that the games themselves are not always the best written bits of software and you have a recipe for a few crashes now and then!

i think for games your system is a bit like scraping a jam jar for two slices of bread when theres only enough for one. 
for friends in the USA jam jar = jelly jar

for friends in the USA jam jar = jelly jar | Yeah, we know what jam is. I'm not sure what it is, but apparently there is a difference between jam and jelly out here. Nice simile by the way.
I shuddered because of the fact that this thing is not only running on pc2700 RAM, but it's two 256mb instead of just one 512. This is supposed to be a decent lappy too lol. (not that old either)
But yeah, any explanation for the crashes?

Have a look at the event logs (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer >) to see of there are any clues - note you can see what (system) time things happened to make sure you have the right event as not all the red ones are fatal.

Did you update to the version 1.61b, I take that you never tried Desert Combat before?
Give it a try, get 0.8 Full release.

Desert Combat and Desert Combat Final are AWESOME!! Best way to play 1942 IMO. Haven't played it in a while though. But when you got COD4 it kind of kicks 1942s butt.
