Hey everyone,
About an hour into playing, Battlefield 3 crashes (not a display driver crash). I suspected my GPU overclock at first so I reverted to stock and the game crashed again.
Extra info:
-Punkbuster is up to date
-All notifications/Origin overlays are disabled
-No unusual background process
-Fresh Windows 7 installation
-In game settings maxed out
-nVidia Control Panel settings "maxed" out
-Using Chrome to launch BF3
-FXAA mod
-nVidia 295.73
-RAM is Prime95 stable (16 hours) and Memtest stable (lots of loops).
I'm wondering if 6GB really is enough for this game. I haven't tried the SET BCDEDIT tweak because it shouldn't be needed on a 64-bit OS.
Anyone getting weird crashes too?
i had a similar issue with my GTX 580 game would crash how i fixed mine was i set the clocks back to default. maybe you could try re installing the game
I'll have to monitor my ram usage the next time I play. But I seriously doubt it's the ram unless you have other programs running which is also eating it.
Try a reinstall. Maybe it was the clock that crashed it the first time. Then when it crashed it corrupted the install. That's the first thing I would try.
It may not like the SLI? Have you Googled that? Just an idea.
I'm also using 295.73 drivers and I don't have any issues. Not to mention that I've recorded loss-less 1080p videos while playing.
My game crashes every 2-4 rounds religiously. Whether I'm OCed, stock clocked, low settings, high settings, whatever. It really doesn't matter... I haven't seen anyone able link it to anything that I've seen... Although, something about it screams Origin Overlay... the origin overlay also gives me issues where the game sometimes won't go full screen... it stays windowed.
I recently got a DirectX Device Hung crash along with the display driver recovering, caused a lockup. It seems that I get that regardless of my overclock and there's no way I'm going to downlock under stock speeds just so that a poorly finalized game stays stable. I'm really hoping the new patch fixes this crap.
They were paid by Sony to make the PS3 top priority. It's just how Microsoft paid Activision to get the CoD maps out on Xbox 360 a month before any other platform.
BF3 crashes to desktop about every 30 minutes in multiplayer for me, plays fine in single player. Pretty unfortunate, it's a really fun game. Too bad I can't play more than a round and a half at a time though. Here's to hoping that the new patch will magically fix all of our issues!
have any of you tried diffrent drivers? or you might just have disable you sli/cf. try that. before re-intalling the game, i'd make that my last option

Many people with crashing issues have been crashing since the game launched, and have used every driver since then in an effort to thwart this crap. Many of us don't have SLI or CF going either (I personally am running a single 5850).
Little update for ya'll. I lowered my Paging File from ~6GB to 512MB-1024MB and the lockup happened within a minute, I was able to kill BF3.exe fast enough to regain control over the system (otherwise I need to hard reset) and see the error and it was complaining about running out of virtual memory, even though I had 2GB of unused RAM. Event Viewer blamed it on Origin.exe. So I now increased my paging file to 9GB on a separate HDD and this weekend will determine if my problem was caused by the paging file all along.
I've had this happen a couple times too with my CF 7970s. It seemed that it didnt happen with a single 7970. All settings are at stock. I am interested to see if anything is discovered here.
