Assuming that you have made no recent changes to your system (adding new hardware or software for example), and this problem has suddenly popped up, I'd recommend the following steps:

If any step below works, you can stop and skip the remaining steps.

1. Check the BF vietnam website for the lastest game patches.
2. Check www.ati.com for the latest drivers for your video card.
3. Check your motherboard's website for chipset driver updates.
4. Check your motherboard's website for a bios update.

5. run www.memtest.org on your ram for a couple hours.
6. go to www.maxtor.com and download powermax to diagnose your hard drive.
7. Run a "repair" install on Windows XP
