I'm having the same exact issue as the OP. Every few minutes the game freezes for a few seconds, all sound stops, then it catches back up and (usually) I'm dead because I was in the middle of a firefight.
I've updated my graphics drivers, set the origin/BF2 launchers to run as admin. I've tried reducing all settings to low (graphics) and it still freezes so I don't think it's related to a graphics card driver or in-game setting.
Also, I do have an SSD that the game is installed on. I don't know if this makes a difference but I have origin originally installed on my C Drive, but I have the game installed on a secondary SSD (different drive).
I'd love a fix for this because it wasn't happening up until a few days ago. It did happen during the beta, but then on the first few days (pre order access) it didn't appear to happen.
I'm experiencing the same issue. Fresh image Windows 10 SSD.
