Hi, i'm haven't a recurring problem with this videocard (Aopen 6800gt 256mb) during gameplay (battlefield 2). After 1/2-1hr of gameplay, everything completely freezes. This has been happening quite often and recently after i purchased videocard last wk. Ive updated the firmware to the latest and all settings are defaults. Please help! thank u

Sounds like a heat issue. How's your case cooling scheme? Is your new vid card getting enough cooling? Try running with the case side off and a house fan blowing into your system. If that solves the problem, then it's a heat issue.

Otherwise, check the standard things like drivers and DX version. I'm pretty sure BF2 has the latest DX 9.0c, so no worries there. But what about your chipset drivers and NVidia drivers and audio drivers and LAN drivers, etc?
