yeah ive tried lowering the video setting to low but still getting freezes/hangs. it is so frustrating that reset my pc is the only way. the crash is random from 5-30 minutes only when playing mp. with sp on ultra is runs smoothly.

my spec:
qx9650 3.0ghz
gtx560ti
win7 64-bit
8gb ram

all exceeded recommended requirements. it is related to intrnet connection? it requires minimum 1mbps but my intrnet cnection only 512 kb/s.

any1 can suggest anything? ive had veryyyyy high hopes for bf3...dun make me turns to mw3 haha

ive tried underclock my gtx560 ti from 880 to 800 using msi afterburner....also set the fan at 100% but somehow the freezes/hangs still happened.

the only difference is that i can play longer before freezes, around 20 to 30 minutes instead of 5 6 minutes previously.

so sad

really hope EA will fix this very very very very very soon plssss

MSI.

if u find any useful info pls let us (who have crash problems of course) know eh.....actually its kinda weird that freezes only occurred when playing mp, no matter low, medium or high setting.
but when playing sp, although on ultra, the play went smoothly (low fps by the way..haha)

i really think it has sumthing to do with my intrnet connection....hmmm

oh i c....yeah i read your post earlier about updating sound driver...i went to sound driver at control panel, and then click update driver. however it showed that i have the latest driver, although i never update sound driver before.

btw, ive still not tried to update bios yet. do u think it can solve my problem by updating it?

my integrated sound driver is realtek high definition sound driver (bla3). what's yours?
is there any way to manually update sound driver? can u give me links where to download it?

btw, wats ur latest version of sound driver after u update? check2 pls

hmm...my default sound driver is microsoft, then update driver using realtek 2.66. but still no changes at all. but somehow last night i manage to play around 1 1/2 hr without crashing (i'm sleepy so i logged out be4 any crashes) but today it returns as be4. 15-20 minutes, freezes. omg so frustrated!!

and again i feel it has something to do with my intrnet connection...

okeh...as a refreshment, i have done gazillion bazillion steps to overcome bf3 crashes/freezes, with no success.

spec:
qx9650 3.0ghz
mobo - asus p5g41-mx l (cheap)
ram - 8gb team elite 1333mhz
gfx - msi gtx560 ti
psu - huntkey 650w 80% eff.
win7 64-bit
gfx driver - nvidia 285.79 (current, already tried .38 n .62)


what i've done so far;

1. update nvidia driver frm 285.38 --> 285.62 ---> 285.79 - fail
2. update soundcard driver - fail
3. underclock my gtx560 ti from 880 --> 820, 800 -- fail
4. delete the 'tm' in registry and game folder - fail
5. using msi afterburner set the fan speed 100% - fail
6. set the video setting from high (default) --> medium --> low - fail
7. disable antivirus - fail
8. sleep n dream about the awesomeness of kharg island map and immediately wake up and play mp -- fail

its always the same thing for me, play around 5 - 15 minutes and my pc freezes with looping sound --> press reset. (cannot alt-ctrl-del)

anything else for suggestion? or any opinion of what might be wrong
