I have been banned for VIOLATION (GAME HOOK) 125083.
http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-02884b14-vb92688.html
My appeal has been denied though admins on evenbalance viewed may case again and admit its faulty.
I have been using a freeware graphic card utility which allows users to control graphic card/driver settings. (clocks, fans resolutions, vsync etc. it contains an ingame fps counter too)
the tool may be downloaded here:

I am using a beta version of it: 1.5.9.1311
As its been reported to the support forum many other users of Ati Tray Tools and BF2 have got the same issues with punkbuster bans. You may read about it here:

This might be interesting for the developers:
The Program uses two dlls which carry the string "hook" in their filenames.
"raphook.dll" "kbdhook.dll" in the main directory of the programm
(default: C:\Program Files\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools)
I hope admin/developers will look into this cause undoubtfully there will be more bans due to these issues.
