Game starts lagging hard after 15-20 minutes

Game runs super smooth on start up for about 20 minutes and then after that point it just starts to get extreme stuttery and unplayable. If I quit and restart, it works perfectly for another 20 minutes. I have a Phenom II X4 2.8ghz, Nvidia 9800gt, 4 gigs of ram, and for those 20 minutes, it runs everything butter smooth.

I'm not really sure what to do at this point.

Check your temperatures, you might be experiencing overheating.
Dedusting the PC is generally a good idea to free up those clogged fans and allow better cooling.

Temps are fine, and every other game I play runs perfectly fine.

I also checked the error logs and found errors at points i was laging

(i've tried clearing shader cash)
these two erorr codes seem to repeat at certain lag points

I wonder if it's a Steam thing. Still no relief for me.

but i found a solution "for me atleast"

go into your documents/battlefield2 folder profiles your profile (0001 or 0002)

and delete the video.con and it will end the lag for about a couple hours ingame till you have to do it again
