I have a problem here, which is my game always crash while playing half way. You can see my desktop specification in my signature. By common sense, there's no power issue, graphic cards are working fine on the other game without any problem.

When I play this game for the first week started from 27-Oct, that time had no problem at all. After the game or server patching for few times, this problem occur.

The crash is something like this:
- Game freeze
- Screen gone into black screen
- Screen coming back again with blank screen (black and blank screen are different thing)
- Can realize that the graphic card fan slow down to normal speed, less fan noise
- Whole system freeze, no matter what key I press on my keyboard, not responding

Then I'll have to push and hold on the power button for 5 seconds until the whole system turn off then restart again.

This is really irritating. I never overclock any part of hardware in my desktop. The only software that I use is MSI Afterburner which is to control my graphic card fan speed at 70% so that the temperature will stick at 55 celsius at most of the time. Even I tried not to use MSI Afterburner, also having the same issue.

Currently updated to Nvidia latest BETA driver, still no going well, keep crashing.

Any solution for this? Really annoying when you have a great squad and great team, playing half way and game freeze then have to reconnect again.

i came here after it crash

Try and run some stress test utilities to determine how stable your setup is. Prime95 is one good tool.

mine got problem wit crossfire(hd5850), after disable crossfire everything seems ok but cannot go for ultra setting.

try disabling SLI.

Don't tell me that I will need to disable SLI forever, I bought second graphic is just to enjoy the game in good graphic rendering.

Well, no harm to try it out. I just did some research and apply on my desktop. Disable UPnP, which is router setting. Disable Origin in game, also disable most of the notification made by Origin.

actually that is weakness of Sli
its very driver dependent
if and Nvidia/AMD are both the same in this department

Can't wait for Nvidia to launch new driver, news stated that they going to launch new driver in end of this month or December. Hopefully it fix the glitches and crashes.

wat more we can do... im still using single card with dual monitor bcoz battlefield problems...

malas to change the setting everytime....

waiting patch from AMD is like forever!

Sigh, this is killing.

If the game crash due to overheat then I won't mind. The problem is both my graphic card are performing in average 55 celsius and processor is average 42 celsius, and the game crash for no reason.

Now every one is wondering, could be game issue, or GPU issue, or driver issue.

how bout internet connection? im using screamyx 1mb sometimes login only blank sreen....

lol but don't forget nvidia does bf3 stress test with gtx 580 sli setup
ur card is reference card or factory OC? enough power going to ur card?
i installed the new beta driver but i crash more often than the whql version, reverted back and crash less
sometimes no crash at all... crash could also be caused by browser
chrome is the worst browser to run bf3 n battlelog in my list, followed by FF and IE

My cards are definitely reference design, no overclocking. I myself also never overclock my system.

Enough power? Definitely yes, 1000w gold rated power supply is giving power to the cards and system.

having 1000w PSU doesn't mean ur card is getting enough power supply
sometimes the card's power input is set under voltage

Now I get what you mean. I checked a Youtube video yesterday, the uploaded asked me to unlock the voltage control by using MSI Afterburner but I'm worry it will harm the card if the voltage is not properly tuned.

The game engine is full of problems.... ppl are getting all sorts of problems with battlefield 3 if you look at their forums.

Imo its just a rush job like 90% of the games EA released.

try uninstall the MSI Afterburner ..

i too have the crash problem but not as serious as yours.

what i did was I uninstalled my ASUS OSD which control my fan speed and the problem solved.

see if it work with you...

Have you try update/flash ur gpu bios to the latest version? It solved mine and few of my fren issue.

i can play with normal core when play bf3 after update the bios..thanks bro

lol really? i think i should flash meh bios also
but i read msi forum.. alot of shizz happened after flashing bios
from OC to reference speed... mein card 560gtx ti hawk

lol..i just a flash the bios and then reset back the core speed..
before this i set 823 and now 900..so can play without crashhhhh
