Ive googled all around and tried all solutions so I thought id come and ask you guys..
Ive tried driver reinstalls. different drivers.. disabling this and that..
The thing is it never used to do it.. nothing in my system hsa changed.. only a reformat..
I thought it was BF3 specific.. but then i played BFBC2 and to my surprise it did the same thing.. As far as i know crysis 3 runs for an extended period of time without a hard freeze
It literally locks up and i cant do anything but hold my pc power button..
Could it be overheating? My gpu runs at 80c.. my CPU pretty much 95 to 100% (about 60c) all the time aswell.. Or could it be a memory leak? Ive tried solutions.. I do get the "performance is low" message sometimes when i play before it crashes.. I havent overclocked my GPU either its all stock. The cpu is at 3ghz from 2.4 though but its been stable for years.
Back when BFBC2 was popular(no BF3) my PC started to act up like your's. After about 15 min of game play the sound would stutter and the entire machine would lock up. turned out to be the mobo.
I remember i had the same problem with my old Phenom II 720 processor, for the longest time it ran absolutely stable, Prime 95 stable, all that jazz. However whenever it came to playing Battlefield, it would always lock up after playing for a while. I backed down on my OC and never had any problems after that.
So i put it back to stock 2.4ghz (disabled any overclocking whatso ever. stock bios etc)
and it still freezes after 30 minutes or so.. i have a hint its a ram memory leak but i dont know how to fix it. im so pissed off.. and annoyed. its 1am
Are you on Realtek audio drivers? I dont know much about Gigabyte mobos, but ASUS ones come with a Realtek sound card, and its known to have issues with BFBC2.
Try disabling the audio via BIOS, you'd be surprised how many people solved their problems with this little step.
If the freeze disappears, you could consider a sound card or a USB-sound-card-thing whatever they are called.
Maybe with the reformat you installed a different audio driver than you had before? Just guessing.
Ive thought about that. But my micro board doesn't have room fora sound card even though I own one. Even though that makes total sense because when I moved out I had to trade my sound card for a wireless nextwork card. Apprently my mobo has VIA audo codec? Does that ring a bell with anyone?
did you have lock ups before you installed that wireless card?
