Windows 7 Crashes Or Freezes While Playing Battlefield Game
May 15, 2011
I am running Windows 7 and frequently get a screen freeze while playing Battlefield Vietnam II or Battlefield II only. This happens quite often and I see no patterns except for these 2 games. I have updated my video drivers. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 (Prerelease - WDDM 1.1)
Computer games make my Pc crash. This happens about 10-15 minutes after I start any game.However, most games only crash when the window fits the whole screen and some games crash whenever it fits the whole screen AND whenever the game is resizableFor example, whenever I play Runescape in fullscreen, it crashes in about 10 minutes after I start the game. This doesn't happen whenever I have it in a resizable window. However the game, Minecraft, crashes in fullscreen AND in a resizable window.I already tried updating my drivers but according to my computer, my drivers are all updated to date.Here are my specs:Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.110408-1633)Language: English (Regional Setting: English)System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.System Model: Inspiron 580 BIOS: Default System BIOSProcessor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.2GHzMemory: 8192MB RAMAvailable OS Memory: 8120MB RAMPage File: 4620MB used, 11616MB availableWindows Dir: C:WindowsDirectX Version: DirectX 11DX Setup Parameters: Not foundUser DPI Setting: Using System DPISystem DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent)DWM DPI Scaling: DisabledDxDiag Version: 6.01.7600.16385 32bit UnicodeSound Tab 1: No problems found.Input Tab: No problems found[CODE]
The computer has worked great for years with 2x1 GB of OCZ PC 500 memory. I added 2 more sticks for 4x1 GB of OCZ PC 500 memory, all are matched sticks. The computer crashes to the desktop while gaming. Memory passes MemTest86, several passes with Hardware/Software memory hole enabled. One other thing, at this time I am using Windows XP 32 and what started this upgrade to 4 GB is I'm getting ready to install Windows 7 Home 64.

So recently i was having a lot of AMD driver issues and crashes while playing Dota 2 and some other games, Now over the past 3 days i have been getting BSOD crashes as well while playing games. This does not happen immediately in games, it appears to be random.I reset all my BIOS settings just in case it was my overclock, but i had another this afternoon afterwards.

I just built a new computer and whenever I play the game CoD:mw3 my computer randomly crashes, sometimes it'll show pale blue on my screen sometimes it'll be yellow and there really is no specific timing for it either. I've already upgraded my drivers.
Need some help determining the cause of frequent crashes while playing either game, a variety of error numbers. Tried updating graphic drivers, no change.
I'm not sure what's wrong. GW2 was working fine for a couple of days, and then the updates came rolling in. My computer started freezing, crashing, and a couple of bsods every hour or so. Only happens when playing GW2 though.
It started yesterday: in an online game, after a couple of games I suddenly got some short freezes (half a sec, never longer) in which the sound goes like a machine gun, if you understand me. This was the first instance and since then it occasionally happens in that game. Nothing weird with that, just lag. That's what I thought. But today I started an offline-only game that has always worked perfectly (in fact, it's an old game, so very low system specs), and I got the same issue!
So, it seems I have a freeze issue suddenly, only appearing in games (haven't experienced freezes anywhere else). Note that it isn't exactly a freeze. Say I move my mouse and the freeze issue happens (still moving my mouse, but the arrow doesn't move), after the freeze my mouse arrow teleports to the spot it would've been in if the game hadn't frozen for that instant. In an actual freeze it wouldn't record where I'd move my mouse, would it?
While I was writing this, I noticed the PC showed a problem. I let it do its thing, and it reports a video hardware error. I DO NOT know if this is related to the problem, but regardless, I've attached the 3 files (in a zip) Windows showed me, in case it's relevant.
I just recently built the computer listed in the specs part of my profile, and have only ran into one issue. When I record my gameplay on Battlefield 3 with Fraps, after I finish the recording and click to exit the game I get a blue screen, this is the absolute only time I get a blue screen and it happens every time. I checked the event viewer but there was so errors leading up to the crash and no information except one that stated the computer recovered from the crash. The only constant I find is that it only crashes when I am using fraps and when I am only a voice chat service, in my case skype or ventrilo. I am currently running the Memtest86 on that computer now so I can't retrieve any of the BSOD information, provided that there is any, but so far I have no errors showing on the memtest.
I'm getting alot of BSOD's when playing BF3. I'm using an Nvidia 560 ti graphics card. I'm using the latest drivers, and i have also been running Furmark without any trouble.
When playing battlefield 3, and sometimes in other games like SC2 and MW3 it will either crash the computer, crash to desktop or BSOD. This is the data pulled from the event viewer.
I've recently just built a new rig and have experienced several BSOD's when playing BF3. The strange thing is I can sometimes play the game all day and experience no issue and then sometimes just have constant BSOD's when playing BF3 - especially when it is loading the map!My screen just goes black with an infinite sound loop and I am unable to alt + ctrl + del or anything, my computer is literally dead until I restart it..My CPU and GPU temps are fine, I mean.. I can play for up to 5 hours and the temps are still good.For instance, I was just playing the game with Fraps (see the FPS) was playing at 58 fps on ultra.. and as soon as I press F9 to start recording.. BANG.. the computer is dead, again!!I have literally tried everything; uninstalling graphics drivers, install graphics drivers, flash graphics & bios, disable sound, buy a sound card, play on low settings.. literally everything.My specs are: ASUS P8Z68-V LX MOTHERBOARD G.SKILL RIPJAWS-X 8GB(2X4)16 C9 GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 560TI OC Intel i5 2500k 3.3GhzCoolermaster Hyper Evo CoolerNovatech 750W ATX Power SupplyWhen I go to event viewer, it logs the BSOD as "critical", "kernal-power", with an event ID of 41.
I recently installed battlefield 3, and I've been playing the campaign without much trouble, but when I'm playing multiplayer I'll get a blue screen about 5-10 minutes into a match.
I have been playing BF3 with my newly updated 5870. Without any reason I get BSOD. No framerate drops or overheating. Also, I get screen tearing with just normal applications up. ex. Google Chrome, itunes ext. Just some information on my system-
I recently built a pc and I had windows vista running on it and everything was fine. Bought a 128gb Samsung 830 SSD and windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this week and did a fresh install. I had many BSOD's during the windows installation, mostly IRQL, but finally got it installed and running. Now when I try and play Battlefield 3, I am able to play for a few minutes before my pc BSOD's. It seems to mostly be IRQL errors, but I've also got pfn_list_corrupt, memory management, and bad pool header BSOD's.
I have tried a lot of things to see what the issue may be. I got the latest video card drivers for my card, GTX560, since that seemed to me like the probable cause, but I am still getting BSOD's. I ran memtest for 6+ hours and received no errors and did a check disk on my boot drive with no errors as well.

My gaming laptop has always had BSOD problems ever since purchase. It occurs sporadically, sometimes once a month to once every day for a week. It occurs mostly while playing video games, but has sometimes happened randomly while internet browsing. I created a thread on these forums 2 weeks ago for a BSOD problem. Here is the link: [URL] I followed all the instructions that i was given, and everything was fine until a couple days ago, where i had another BSOD. I have had 3 BSOD so far, on the 6th, 7th, and 9th of December. Here are my computer specs:
-Asus G60JX -Windows 7 - x64 -Nvidia Geforce GTS 360M -OEM -1 1/2 years old. -Have never reformatted or reinstalled OS. -Updated to the latest bios version about a month ago hoping to solve BSOD problem.
everytime I play Battlefield 3 I get in max. 30 minutes a BSOD. And it ONLY happens with this game, everything else works perfectly fine without crashes or whatsoever.This has been going on since half December, which is about a week after I updated my drivers. It first happened once or twice, where I though that it was just coincidence, but now it happens every time I try to play Battlefield 3.Since it happened a bit after updating the drivers, I thought it was that. Today most of the drivers needed to be updated again, including the infamous Realtek sound drivers that are supposed to give problems with Battlefield 3, so I updated them hoping it would solve the problem. No dice, I still get a BSOD when playing Battlefield 3.Dump files are in the attachment. I didn't include the perfmon HTML file since it refuses to generate a report, even when the Performance Logs & Alert service is set on manual.

I recently upgraded my motherboard,cpu and ram and did a format and a fresh install of Win 7 ultimate 64, well as the title suggests i can no longer play anything because it blue screens at any given chance. mainly error code 3b but i have had the odd 4e ,edit: there is also a 050 error now aswell.

Is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? -- x64 - the original installed OS on the system? -- Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - an OEM or full retail version? -- Full Retail - What is the age of system (hardware)? -- December, 2011 - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) -- January, 2012 System specs can be found at my profile: Windows 7 Forums - View Profile: Domenic This has just started happening recently. I'm not sure what is causing this, so I thought I'd ask here. I've attached what you have asked for.
EDIT: I'd also like to point out that even when it does not BSOD, after some time (ranges from 1 minute to 1 hour), the game crashes.
There are some BSOD-s lately. Happened almost excluselively under BF3, but if i remember correctly, once it happened under Starcraft 2 aswell.The problem is , that it skips fast before i can see the numbers under the BSOD.
I'm having BSOD while playing Battlefield 3 every 30 minutes, it is realy anoying . I keep my drivers updated , i cleaned my whole PC and defragmented hard disk and cleaned regist files . well it did increase my. performance but BSOD is still there, i stll expiriencing BSOD while playing Battlefield 3. I attached my dump files
playing battlefield 3 i've experienced both bsod and the program to stop running. when the bsod occurs the screen blacks out then the video comes back but the image is made out of a bunch of lines like the video split up and moved around. then the bluescreen comes up. (not sure how else to explain how it looks). theres also a deep beap sound that plays sometimes as well.
i've also experienced an issue with other games, most recently europa universalis 3 where the game stops running as well. sometimes the game runs fine without crash and i've played for 3 - 4 hours on two different occasions but the play after only lasts a few minutes. my drivers are all up to date so i don't think they are the issue.just now i ran a program through the action center that i guess looked for solutions to problems and every problem that showed up is a "video hardware error"

i read somewhere that audio drivers could cause issues. i have high definition audio as well as the realtek audio driver.i don't know if i should upload those files that the problem report reported so don't know. i've also been formatting videos for Internet and running my cpu at 85% so i don't think its the cpu overheating like i've heard can happen.
This error started occurring out of no where. This is the first time that my has been able to catch it. Normally the game just freezes and all three of my screens go black. Sometimes it stays there and I can here skype in the background. Other times it will completely freeze up. This only happends when I play on all three screens. If I play on 1 screen, it works nice.
Battlefield 3 crashes regulary with BSOD after playing for a while.Checked CPU Temps with CoreTemp - around 38C?Checked GPU with MSI Afterburner - around 60C.Windows 7 Home 64-bit / Asus P5QLD Pro / 4GB RAM / Gefore 560 Ti / SB 5.1 VX.
