Solved

stopped razer cortex from launching on startup and i think that's done it, got this tip from a thread saying that the program could interfere with punkbuster, i would never have thought that... i'll give it a few days before i call it the solution but it's looking good
4 days later without punkbuster breaking... confirmed, this is my solution, bit poor because i used razer cortex to boost performance if even a few %
