You on XP or Vista. If vista 32 or 64 bit? What version Graphics drivers do you have?

how long has this been happening? If it's only starting to do this recently, and before everything was okay, then it could be a bad sign that your video card is going bad.
Try updating video drivers?

Try cleaning bf2's video cache? Delete all the files in My Documents > Battlefield 2 > mods > bf2 > cache. Only problem is that it takes forever to load in the next time you do (optimizing shaders, boo)

Get the latest drivers from
www.nvidia.com
If not then as suggested delete the graphics cache, then try a full re-install.

Overheating wouldn't cause those kind of graphic glitches. The pc would crash or reboot.

That's not necessarily true. If it was overheating though you would get artifacts that looked different to those 'shadows'.
My suggestion is to try turning off all shadows in the BF2 settings.

Its a graphics problem then. Delete the cache and update your drivers and you should be able to run it on high.
