this is my spec

asus P5G41T-m LX INTEL G41 mobo
Corsair Vengeance 8gb ram
4870x2 graphics card
q6600 cpu with freezer 7 pro cooler
ocz zs 750w psu
windows 7 ult 64 bit

If its a new build, first thing I'd do is check temps, make sure things are seated etc. Run a http://www.memtest.org/ outside windows to check ram. Test a single gpu at a time, make sure its not a single faulty one. Just narrow it down in general.

Had the same problem,

Make sure you have the latest graphics driver, not the one that came with the cards.

Ian

iTrader: (10)

yup and the latest ones from ati web site

Hi Ian

try upload your minidump on the 4shared or any free server.

Please try these steps

Go to Start > Search.
Type "cmd" > Rightclick "cmd.exe" > Run as administrator.
Run this command:
sfc /scannow

Ian

done that, what am i looking for please?

jura11

iTrader: (7)

Ian have look on this guide how to read minidump errors(usually BSOD) and please download WinDbg


http://www.pchell.com/support/minidumps.shtml


Jura

Ian

iTrader: (10)

im just down loading it now.

if i look at my core temps (using a windows 7 wiget) it says the cores (when downloading) are at around 47-51 deg c

could it be a over heating thing when the game is loading?

bonesetter

iTrader: (9)

I've had a recurring BSoD.

Does everything go big every so often and then you have to recal the resolution?

Ian

iTrader: (10)

not that i have seen.

bf3 will start to load a match, and then it will die.

this is the strange thing, if i minilise it, so it is running in the back ground. it is fine and doesnt crash, but as soon as i click onto it to restore it, it crashes

Ian

iTrader: (10)

here is a pic of the blue screen if it helps??

bonesetter

iTrader: (9)

Crikey, is that a CRT?

Ian

iTrader: (10)

yup lol, its a monster

eagle

looks like the graphics card is the problem or driver wise, change the graphics options for the game see if that helps .. but i think its a driver issue ..

Ian

iTrader: (10)

is there any way of doing that. as i cant get the game playing to get into the options

Ian

iTrader: (10)

i have the newest graphics card drivers running

jura11

iTrader: (7)

Ian this atikmpag.sys looking like the causing your problems,newest drivers are unstable i would uninstall them and install older one if its possible,which ATi Catalyst you are now running?

And in which one slot(PCI-E) is installed your GPU?

Is in closest PCI-E slot closest to the CPU?



Jura

Ian

iTrader: (10)

the graphics card is in the one with the locking clip on the end.

catalyst is 12.3

on the ati website it only shows you the current drivers. these are the only ones i have as its a new install

jura11

iTrader: (7)

Yes i know 12.3 is newest i'm still on old ATi Catalyst 11.12 on mine PC

Yes you can have only one slot for GPU.

But this very interesting for you as owner of 4870X2

i just uninstalled the driverd, and put on a older one, but it was still the same :-(

jura11

iTrader: (7)

Uninstall driver via Driver sweeper in Safe mode(i've similar problem before on friend PC when Intel HD causing BSOD,he removed driver,but at the end still persist in some form in registry)

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Securit...-Sweeper.shtml

And let windows install driver alone,sometimes this help


Jura

Ian

iTrader: (10)

I have used driver sweeper to clean out the old drivers and have tired a few different ones. 12.3, 11.12, and 11.11 but they all cause the blue screen.

should i just keep trying older driver versions?

is there anything in the bios that could be set wrong?

thanks

Hi Ian

Can you try another game or try some 3D Mark and FurMark

Here is link on FurMark:

http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/


Because what i've read,BF doesn't like crossfire cards and mainaly people with 4870X2 have problems with them.

Have look on this please and you will see what i mean

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/...bsod-artifacts


Jura

Ian

iTrader: (10)

ok. im running the furMark at the mo, the resulition i chose was 1152x864 and so far it is about half way through with no crashes/blue screens

Nooblygoobly

Two things to check (Option B is common resolution to your problem)

A: Is your crossfire installed properly? (Both hardware wise and software wise) If you are unsure, remove a GPU and try BF3 with only one GPU running, if it works fine (Albeit slow) then you know its a crossfire issue. If so, make sure the strip is in properly and not to tight.

B: Are your GPU units overclocked?! Overclocked GPU's and BF3 dont always get on, if not ignore this! If they are, remove the overclock and I would bet good money it start working! If you are unsure, try a program like RivaTuner (Select force to default) or the software that came with your GPU and or Motherboard (95% now come with overclocking facilities for GPU/CPU and RAM)

~ If your not 100% sure overclocking/resetting PM me ~

..... I only came on here for help on finding my first scoob

Ian

iTrader: (10)

ill gave RivaTuner a try. i have only got 1 grapgics card. the 4870x2 is two cards made into one case

jura11

iTrader: (7)

4870X2 is dual GPU card,which if you are look at the Device Manager,there you have two cards under Display Adapters


But looking you have only problems with BF games and which using Frostbite engine

Second option if you want enjoy the BF3 is try this Go to your CCC and 3D Settings and disable A.I.

Try with this if game will be playable without the BSOD


Jura

Ian

iTrader: (10)

what is the ccc and how do i get to it please jura?
