BF3 Crashes

[bizXn]

Hey guys,
I've been wanting to get some help because this issue has been really getting on my nerve. It's become to the point where the game is just unplayable and I can't rank up normally like in BC2.

Anyways, the game always crashes within 10-15 minutes of gameplay. It turns into a black screen then nothing happens but the process is still running. I've searched all over the internet, tried everything but found no answer. I just wanted to check in with you guys since I know there's a lot of smart people here in the forum.

I had the same problem and fixed it by updating my video drivers. That would be the first place I'd look.

Believe it or not its very well due to the browser you are using. Try using a different browser, I had this issue with bf3 a few days ago an changed my browser from IE to firefox, no more black screen.


Also try below if this concerns you,



If you're like me you've just bought BF3 and you're trying to run it on your crappy XFX ATI Radeon 5770. You get in game and last about 15 minutes before the screen goes black and your pc sounds like it is about to explode. Apparently there is a AMD Catalyist 11.10 Preview driver available that addresses Radeon HD 5xxx and 6xxx cards in hopes of fixing this problem.

These drivers solve the problem, granted your card doesnt overheat.

I already have the latest drivers (11.10). I changed my gpu settings to stock settings. And I think it worked for like 7 games no crashing. But after that it crashed again.
@Luggz I used firefox for the games ^^
