Setup:
Intel 845MB/1.8ghz
1gb RAM
TB Santa Cruz
GForce 7800GS/256mb
2ea Fujitsu 20gb HDs

Installed SW: BF2 ver1.41 w/ SF expansion.

Problem only occurs during Multi-Player.
Single-player never a problem. Runs fine at medium or low settings.
Using a Cable connection and in-game settings are appropriate.
Able to Start, Log in, Join Server.
At best, I get about 15-20 minutes into a game and the screen and sound freezes. I'm left with no option but to do a hard shut-down and re-start of the PC.
At worst, I crash to Desktop as soon as Client Data is verified.

The other night a friend was hosting and I was not the only one attempting to connect that experienced the same thing. (We were on Teamspeak at the time, and were crashing to desktop.)

Any ideas?

I love BF2 in SP, but if I can't get this solved I'll trash it and go back to CoD!!

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
All troubleshooting leads to an issue with multi-player

Try re-installing graphics card drivers, and already look @ google?

Are you behind a firewall or router?

Thanks for the replies, m8s! :-)

Yes, I'm behind a router and a firewall. TCP and UDP ports were properly assigned, so that sgouldn't have been a problem.
It's possible I corrupted a file or two during install. I got to thinking the install sequence may have been an issue.
Originally, I installed as Follows: BF2/v1.4 patch/v1.41patch, then added SF Expansion/re-patched to v1.41.

I've uninstalled BF2 and SF for now.
Will re-install as follows: BF2/SF Expansion/v1.41 patch.
Functional Checks will again be made at each level of installation to narrow it down further (hopefully).

Already uninstalled all sound and video drivers, physically removed/re-installed sound and graphics cards, and re-installed most current drivers for each. Re-check of system has not revealed any problems with CoD, Il-2 FB thru PF & addons, Oblivion, or 3DMax.

RL intervenes, but re-install of BF2 starts tomorrow. I'll post additional if any further problems.

Thanks again, gents! Salut!

Happens to me every once in awhile, since 1.41 I've been gettin CTD probs when I use my grappling hook alot. Ctrl+Alt+Delete, find "BF2" in the processes & shut it down when you freeze up like that, it's the only thing I can do sometimes short of doing the hard reboot like you said. I know it doesn't help with the crashing but maybe it'll help when you do crash, sorry I don't know more about puters.

This happened to me on all AF servers.  Ended up being a bad sound driver.  Arty would go off and CRASH.
