I have a problem when runing battlefield 2

Specs

Soltek k8T800 Pro
Amd 64 3500 ( 939 ) ( Stock Heatsink )
2x 1GB Mushkin ram
Nvidia 6800 GT ( Stock Heatsink )
400 Watt Power supply

When i run battlefield 2 it plays fine for a bout a Hr or 2 but after a while it starts to skip and everything starts to slow down. It is weird because it runs smooth for a while. For ex, It takes about 1 second for each picture to show up, then all of a sudden it comes off and im fine. I don't know whats doing this. Its real anoying i cant even move, its that bad, But after a min it stops then starts again randomly. Also my computer restarts sometimes during gameplay or shuts down.

Do you guys think my Video card cant handle the game or is it skipping and slowing down because of power supply? Or is it something else? Like Temps?

And another thing, when it skips my Fps in Battlefield drop dramatically, But if i went to that spot a Hr ago its perfectly fine.
 
Upgrade your video card, then give the old one to me. :D

...I would install a few fans and see if that works.
 
Spiking temperatures would result in artifacts and then a reboot... lack of memory, the most probably cause in many other cases, don't apply as you have 2 gigs and the video card should be fine... now, what kind of a power supply do you have?
 
Nothing on that system should make it lag. All of the hardware is good.
I have an AMD64 3200 939 that is OCed to 2.4 on air
a 6800GT and 2GB of ram and I have 0 problems.

Check your air circulation. I would have said drivers but you mentioned that it happens after about 30 minutes so it's not drivers.
