@X-RayCAS no do not install, its known for issues with bf2042 at this moment !
There are still some bios updates for better performance and stability!
Did ya check windows health ?
Also make sure that connected hardware (by usb for example) is not an issue !
Sometimes hardware settings , for mouse/game controllers ect ect ect can be an issues, lower polling rate for example, or disable software for this haredware temporarly.

Do ya still got issues ? (any overlay active ?)
Update us please !

I believe I've been able to determine the cause of the issue. 

When I disconnect all additional monitors from my PC the issue seems to go away. I'm not sure why having these monitors connected make a difference. There is nothing on the additional monitors, and they are powered off at the time of recording the issue. 

Disconnecting them from my graphics card does seem to resolve the issue.

    @X-RayCAS it could be gpu driver related or gpu control panel settings/configuration !
    There is now a new nvidia driver 531.29, you could try this one and reconnect hardware , one by one and test game (reboot everytime) , to see what causes the issue !

    keep us up to date please.

      The problem has returned again today, even with my additional monitors disconnected. I tried making some changes in the NVidia Control Panel to no avail. 

      I've checked my CPU overclock in my BIOS and it's current set to "Auto". The only other option is "Manual" and then I must set a clock speed and voltage. I'm not familiar enough with my current CPU to know what to specify so I left the overclock on Auto. 

      I'm at a loss as to what to do.

        @X-RayCAS In bios you could select to LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULKTS, then do SAVE AND EXIT

        Now try again and see if games run !
        Cheers
