Recently I built the following..

AMD 64 3500
K8NS Ultra-939
1 gb pc 3200
BFG 6800 GT 256mb 8x agp
200 gb maxtor hard drive

Well my problem is every time I am in CS:S o BattleField 2 my computer seems to lock up with my hard drive like stop blinking then it unfreezes when the h/d light comes back on..

Do not know what is wrong..

Suggestions or ideas?

Command and Conquer and Splinter Cell seem to run fine
 
Did you do a fresh install of the OS when you upgraded? What video driver version are you using? What power supply do you have?

I have an ATX acrylic power supply 500 watts, the OS was installed freshly on the new hard drive, using the 66.93 drivers as the NEW drivers lock me up as soon as I join games..

When I lock up in games the hard drive stops responding but when I do unlock the hard drive starts responding again

What kind of internet connection are you using? Is it dial up or broadband?

What kind of d/l speeds do you normally see on average when pulling in a bigger file?

And finally,
What are the max players allowed on the servers you are connecting to?

I have been playing single player with BF 2 and my machine locks up and 12-16 max with CS:S

Cable

I don't download anything..
 
Maybe reseat the 6800 and reset defaults in BIOS. If that doesn't help, then you may have to entertain the possibility of an RMA.

I did do an RMA just for the fact that all my problems went away when I put the 5200 in so shipping this bad boy back to BFG today.
 
Far Cry does the same thing on my system, but I found that just OC'ing the vid card (9600xt) was enough to stop it
