I'm running an Athlon64 3200, nForce 3 setup with a 9800 pro. I have the Catalyst 5.6 drivers. I know there have been recommendations to switch back to the 5.1's if 5.6 doesn't work, but it's not like I'm getting any graphical problems or glitches, just severe system instability. Has anyone else encountered this kind of problem? Has anyone else found the solution?
This may have already been addressed (I don't have time to read all of the comments) but if I were you I would try rolling back your driver.
I also run a 9800. I recently upgraded to the 5.6 and had GTA SA lock up on me two times in a row. I then rolled back to my very old driver (don't know what it is, but it was new back in Nov 2004) and haven't had a problem since. And BF2 hasn't given me any trouble.
