Question Need For Speed: Underground 2 won't start

[Anteroz]

Hey! i'm sorry, i'm pretty late with this and also sorry for my bad english. I got the nfs: underground 2 recently from my brother. It is legal copy, has both 2 discs, discs are fine, all that basic stuff. Setup works fine, i get everything installed normally. In the middle of the installation it asks me to put in disc num. 2, i do so. everything goes fine. then everything is installed and i try to run the game. the loading screen shows up (the one with the woman and 2 cars) and it stays there for about 5 seconds, then dissapears, and the screen goes black, shows desktop again, black again and then back to my desktop again, followed by message: "speed2.exe has stopped working". What should i do? I have tried everything; downloading patches, put the settings to run it in windows xp service pack 2 mode (as windows recommended), i tried run it as an administrator, i tried updating every driver that i think could effect such as my graphics card, cpu, audio card, motherboard, chipset, getting version 9.0c of directX as the game recommends, un- and reinstalling the game twice, basically everything. i simply don't get it. i tried to look on the internet but found nothing, and came here to ask if anyone knows how to fix this.

my system specs:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit home premium
Graphics card: ATI radeon hd 5450
CPU: AMD athlon x2 220 2.8gHz
RAM: 6gb
motherboard: foxconn 2aa9
chipset: AMD 780g
DirectX: 11/9.0c
Audio: AMD hdmi output (high definition audio)

if anyone can help, please tell me. i would appreciate that so much. thank you.

Have you looked for any dump files or checked the windows event viewer? there might be some clues on those files.

thanks for fast reply. in windows event viewer, i can see the errors but they don't have any information or error codes or anything. then i had only one dump file on my pc and it was too old to be dump file made by nfs:ug2. thanks anyway.
