hey try check your connection post your pc specs....update punkbuster:

 

General information about Punkbuster

Punkbuster is an anti-cheat tool developed by evenbalance, a company that was founded to fight Cheaters in videogames. Punkbuster is used by a lot of different games, such as Battlefield and Need for Speed.

 

Updating Punkbuster

1. Navigate to your Battlefield Folder(for example: C:\Origin Games\Battlefield3)

2. Start the "pbsvc.exe"as administrator

 

If the "pbsvc.exe" doesn't exist, download it here: http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

 

3. Start "Un-Install/Remove Punkbuster Service"

4. Delete all files inside "C:\Origin Games\Battlefield3\pb"(Not the folder itself, though!)

5. Download Punkbuster from http://evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

6. Save the Setup in any folder on your computer

7. Start the Setup as administrator

8. Click "Add Game"

9. Choose "Battlefield 3" as game and make sure that the game path is your Battlefield 3 folder.

10. Click "Check for Updates"

 

If an update is available for Battlefield 3 PB, Punkbuster will start downloading it now.

 

11. Repeat step 1 and 2

12. Start "Install/Re-Install Punkbuster Service"

 

Punkbuster should be up-to-date right now and a restart is recommended.

 

That should be it, I hope I could help you out.
