I dont think you dont need go that far till flash bios
ALOT player are getting crash/freeze.

Here is some fix that work for me. SP and MP work differently

1. For MP crash, I just turn off my Steam client. If I on it, it crash less than 5 min after game launch, if off steam, doesnt seem have any problem after that.

2. FOr SP, I really dont have any idea. It still crash after i turn off steam, but it take long time b4 it crash/freeze again, if i remember correctly, turn off xfire also help.

3. I also felt that lower my graphic setting also help. Anything higher than Medium, chance you getting crash/freeze are high.

4. Wait for new patch...



Solution that suggested by TS

- revert to latest driver if ur on older driver. ( latest GeForce 285.62 Driver WHQL ) - possible
- roll back or use beta 285.38 .. - possbile- flash ur GPU bios - If salah flash, you can buang your GC already... need really go that extreme?- install win 64 bit if ur on 32bit.. - usually 32bit having less problem anyway, need buy a RETAIL OS for it, and they arent cheap as OEM
- and lower ur graphic in-game setting until u dont crash anymore. - yeap, agree on this, medium settings seems enough

Instead of disturbing your driver that will cause something you may not wanted
try to find program that was conflict with BF 1st
I remember that I got crash because my Origin mati suddenly, and it tarik my BF3 sekali.

Program like Xfire also reported conflict with some game on certain rig

Irrelevent I would say, mine was using Creative SOund Card, not typical onboard sound.
With low setting i manage to play longer, but still crash at the end.
I think only 1 solution = wait for patch.

I found list of problem and fix

BF3 / Battlefield3 Has Stopped Working Crash

Experiencing this error? The awesome liquidsnake has provided us with a possible solution that could work for you!
go to the folder where the game is installed with the name battlefield3TM….RENAME IT TO BATTLEFIELD 3….remove TM ,then goto regedit from run and look for hkey_users etc look for software..battlefield3,there must be 2 bf3 indications…open one with dialogues on right side…now double click every key and remove TM symbol from them,reboot and walla,works guarenteed
1) Go to your game’s installation folder that’s named “battlefield3TM and rename it to “BATTLEFIELD 3″ (without the TM).
2) Open RegEdit (Start -> Run — regedit) and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREEA Games and rename any Battlefield keys that have “TM” in it!
You *might* only have to rename the folder, but try doing so with the registry too if that doesn’t work.





BF3.exe Has Stopped Responding (When Loading Maps / Missions / End of round ) – NVIDIA

This tip was given to us by the awesome user Billie! As mentioned earlier in the guide, the NVIDIA drivers that were current had been causing issues with the game. Try installing the Beta drivers instead!
