Hello,

I have had this exact same system running bf2 for over a year now. I had to reinstall my system as I got another hard drive. My old hard drive was a 60 GIG 7500RPM IDE Drive and I got a 80 GIG 10K RPM SATA Drive. When I installed my stystem I do what I normally do; I installed XP, Then my mobo drivers, my video card drivers and then my monitor drivers. I then do all the windows updates, update my graphics drivers and then install bf2 and then update punkbuster.

When I play bf2 in Single Player it works fine and I have no problems. When I try to play on Multiplayer things are not ok. As soon as I click join game (And sometimes I can't even click Join Game) it loads the map and it starts making the bf2 sounds and the computer just freezes. I can't even click CTRL-ALT-DEL or ALT-F4. I am not sure what is happening.

I have verified all my fans are working properly. I have a Zalaman CPU Cooler, A stock cooler on the Northbridge and a large (80mm?) fan on the back near the PSU.

My Current Config:

NFORCE4-A754
2 Gig RAM
GeForce 8800GTS
550W Power Supply

im not sure what the answer is but i have been experience alot of lag with bf2 lately and its very frustrating.

my specs are:

q6600 go stepping
4 gb ram
8800gt alpha dog edition

i should not be lagging.

Is there any program running which could block it? Like resident defence? For example I have to shut down SpyBot because it wont allow me to join any server, BF2 freezes same as yours and only hardcore restart gets my comp back to functionality. Also take a look on firewall ports or antivirus protection. If its not the problem then I dont know, sorry.

Well a friend of mine helped me troubleshoot it. I installed the NForce 4 SATA drivers and it worked like a champ. :-)
