Here's an annoying problem,
I have been kicked from a few servers this evening literally within a few minutes of joining their servers.
Why does this happen?

Do you mean kicked by server admin or EA, Punk Buster? I know spiderpig was running XP and was having disconnection probs when playing the beta, I am not sure how he fixed this. I would make a note of what message comes up when you are kicked and google it, see what the forums say. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

My problem was crash-to-desktops, if that is a symptom for you ijob, I suggest going into the settings for the game (config file in docs and settings) and change DXversion from 'auto' to 9/10/11... or whatever is appropriate for your system.

The error reads:
'You have been kicked from the server'
It is bought through steam so should be always upto date.
Is punkbuster the issue? I hope Steam update that too.

Hmmmm.... as vague an error message as that...
If it happens regular , then its unlikely kicked by admin for slots or whatever. I guess verify cache, and update punkbuster, there is a PB manager program that will do that for you, google it and it should be right at the top somewhere.
What ping do you get? as some have ping limits etc

In your server browser set your filter to European servers only, everyone should have this checked anyway to stop you connecting to crappy high ping servers. I always look out for multiplay servers as you know the hardware is decent.
