Title: Games Crashing
Post by: Max. on March 17, 2011, 02:57:36 am: This problem happens with the following games: Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Medal of Honour.

At certain points in the game, the game will completely lock up my computer and then blue screen, this isn't a heating issue as both my cards never made it over 55 degrees Celsius(131 Fahrenheit) and my CPU didnt make it over 50(122 Fahrenheit) and the rest of my computer stayed under 40(104 Fahrenheit).

My Computer specs are:

i5 760 2.8ghz Quad core
4gb Corsair Dominator Ram
2 Gigabyte GTX 460's
Gigabyte P55A-UD4P Motherboard
3 HDD's all healthy

Also my case cools everything amazingly so it rarely overheats.

Does anyone know of any compatibility issues with these parts and those games?

(also im pretty sure my drivers are up to date, i try to update regularly)

Thanks, Max

Another Note, these 3 games are all EA games, ive checked a few other forums and people have been complaining about this happening to them on these games heaps, some people are suggesting its happening because of punk buster, others are suggesting its a sound issue

Never experienced speedstep, but everyone says it is annoying.

The blue screen did not say anything about dumping memory?
