I just built my new computer after xmas. BFG nForce 4 mobo, 3000+ Athlon Venice Core with 2gigs of PC3200 ram, and a new PNY 7800GT 256Meg PCIe card. Now BF2 freezes, even in single player mode. It just freezes the game and loops the last half second of sound then i have to restart. It happens in different places, either while loading, in the game, or after i click the join button. It even does it on another game called Chrome SpecForces. But it WILL NOT do it in Call of DUty 2??? I am lost. I thought it might be the sound, so i turned off my onboard and installed an old Sound Blaster Live my dad was using. Same problem. So i am now assuming it is my vid card. I saw on the EA site that the 7800 series is not supported.

So i am lost now. This is my first PCIe card and i dont have another sitting around to see if that is the problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanx

P.S. i know there is a FAQ about turning down the hardware acceleration on the sound... i tried that too.
