If this has already been covered, please link me, but apparenly my game now locks my computer up after about 7-10 min in a server. This never happened in 1.2, and is even happening during some of the single player levels of 1.3. It also always seems to lock on my first death, limiting me to about 4 kills per match before i have to take the battery out of the laptop. Also note, the game still plays fine under 1.2hotfix.
Specs:
p4 3.2ghz
512mb ram
128mb radeon 9700 compact

It sounds like the problem that was plaguing people before the first patch came out. Another point is the level of RAM you have, sounds like the bare minimum to play. If the game is overtaxing your memory then you could get CTD or lock-up.
Laptops are not the best choice for game machines, sorry. You are pushing it with the minimum specs and your machine is not up to the newer requirements of v 1.03 IMHO.

Though that's possible, I doubt that is the cause of lock-on-spawn. I had this problem on bfv, and it was due to a mod, being that bf2 is not vanilla, i think re-install is the best cure. The laptop I use, though a laptop, does weigh 8lbs and is used to both play on and host bf2 servers at lan parties, so I know it doesn't have a problem with the requirements. Scraping RAM usage down to over 1/3 of normal and increasing the pagefile buffer also has no effect on the lockup, leading me to believe it's the modded bf2 that's having the issues, especially my v 1.2 was the hot overwritten with 1.2, overwritten with 1.3, without everything deleted, and overlaps are probrably interfering.

Solved the problem, just required the latest Catalyst drivers from ATI, followed by a Mobility Mod to the drivers to get them working. ;) Works like a charm with less lag on higher settings. :)
