Folks at Epic, after doing some research on this, I've found that every single person I've come into contact with who has an ATI x1900 512mb vid card is having the same system lockup issues. This lockup isn't one that can be fixed with alt/ctrl/dlt. We have to hard reboot to get out.
Here's what we've found so far:
We all lock up on DM-DECK without fail. Some lockup when nearing the slime at the bottom of the map, while others lockup when respawning, but we all crash on that map frequently. In fact, none of us have managed to finish an online game. The kicker here is that while I can't speak for others in this regard, I've managed to work through numerous bot matches on Deck, obviously meaning that the problems appear to only be when playing via the net.
We've tried updating to the most current drivers, then working backwards to previous versions with no luck. We've tried scaling the graphics options. Those that have overclocked either their chip or the vid card have gone back to stock speeds, again with no luck.
The bottom line here is that every single person we've dug up who has this vid card is locking up on Deck without fail, and on other random maps sporatically, the common denominator being that it happens more often during a spawn.
Pertinent system specs for my rig:
C2D E6400
ATI x1900 512mb card
p5wdh deluxe mobo
2gig ddr 667 ram
