Please disable all servers with pb it doesn't really help much pb i never seen it in action and banning someone :-/ maybe once but that's only once in my whole et life (2-3years)

EDIT: Sorry it's totally offtopic well Tukker try write down your prob and search for it on google... Maybe you find someone who have the same prob but that have found a solution

from the pb FAQ

My computer locks up or "chugs" sometimes while I'm playing
with PunkBuster Enabled, what can cause this?

PunkBuster "pushes" hardware and the Windows Operating System more
than most software and uses functions in the Windows API (low level functions) that aren't used by most other programs. As such,
there are a few cases where using PB can actually expose flaky hardware or other situations that don't cause problems for other software.
Here are a few things that have helped other users make these problems get better or go away completely:

- Make sure you are using the latest version of PunkBuster (the latest version is always on our Download page) -
also this link may help manually update your PB to the latest version when necessary

- From the game's main screen, press the tilde key (the ~ key) to bring down the console
and enter the following line (without the quotes): "/pb_system 1".

- Never close other programs from your Windows Task Manager before playing the game,
either leave them running or close them through the proper interface - killing a process doesn't always work
completely even if it stops showing in the Task Manager and renegade threads seem to conflict with PB more than
other programs that may be running in memory. There is a free utility that some players use called EndItAll
to close all extra programs before they play to avoid software conflicts, crashes and lockups. You can get it from here.

- Check the add/remove programs list in your Control Panel and uninstall any programs
that you don't use or that you don't know what they are.

- One program that seems to conflict with PB more than others is Norton Anti-Virus. If you have it installed,
try uninstalling it to see if the lockups go away. Some players have reported that when this is the culprit,
they can reinstall Norton Anti-Virus and the lockups don't come back.

- Other background programs that seem to conflict with PB for some users are Sound Blaster Live software
and helper programs that come with video cards (especially ATI keyboard shortcut programs).

- Some players discovered that they had a computer virus and that the lockups vanished after it was fully removed.

- Experiment with the pb_sleep setting ... try setting it to 20, 250, or 500 to see if that affects your game performance.
A few players have reported that all the problems go away when they "tweak" this setting.

- In extreme cases, a few users have reported that replacing their RAM (memory) or video/sound cards fixed the problem.

Dont know if u already read this Tukker, but there are some tips in it that might work for u

Just try to close as many programs as possible before running ET.
Have u recently isntalled any new programs? If so it may be conflicting with PB.
