ok.. this problem has been going on for about 3 weeks now and i just cant get it fixed.. Whenever i play Battlefield 2 or 2142, or quake wars enemy territory online, the game freezes after about 5-20mins of gameplay.

I have reformatted my hard drive, re-installed XP, updated all drivers possible and can play games fine offline. Its just online play that my comp freezes. My PC temps are normal (see below) and i have got plenty of air cooling as well. I tried swapping my sound card with the onboard sound card, but it made no difference. I can stay connected to the internet perfectly fine overnight, downloading etc. The only thing i have not yet swapped is my network card, which i will be doing tomorrow (using on board at the moment).

I have run memtest, 3dmark06, pcmark05 all with no problems. I ran world in conflict at max settings and payed it fine offline for 2 hours yesterday.

Anyone have a clue what the issue could be??

GPU temps?

Can you loop 3Dmark06 a few times?

How long did you run memtest?
 
wouldn't he be seeing tearing and snow before freezing if his gpu was that hot?

also, voltage rails. watch them while running prime95.
 
What firewall are you using?

I'm having the same problem as well with BF2. Each time BF2 freezes, Comodo Firewall says that I'm under DDOS attack.

OH and what ISP do you have? Is anybody you know, who play those online games and have the same ISP as you, having the same problem?
 
hey... ran memtest overnight, said no problems.. not using a firewall at the mo, was the first thing i took off.. I use a popular ISP, no problems experienced by other guys on it..

as i said, i can play games fine offline, its just online, so i doubt its my gfx card.... max temp i have seen it at was 70deg centigrade.

i also have tried a new network card, but the problem still occurs
