This thing you can see above, is what happened to me in BF3 and made me quit the game, as I couldnt play it, and now exactly the same happens in MOH:warfigther.

Basically what happens is that after a short period of in-game time, the game freezes, and nothing is working. not the keybord, not the mouse, not Alt shift delete.. nothing.. I have to manually restart my pc by pressing the button on it. This is realy frustarting, and I have no idea whats causing this, and EA and origin advisors are as helpful as fat guy in a 100meters run.(that was clever, yeah.)
so if you have any idea what this is, or if you have any more questions about the case, post it here.
I'd realy appreciate an answer beacuse this issue has been bugging my ass for over a year, since I bought BF3. It sucks that I cant play and of the games that I realy like.. and i've no idea whats causing this. So, again, if anyone knows any way to help me out, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks ahead!

*the sound in the video is the sound from the game when it freezes.

Please post your system information, RAM, Video card and so on so we can look into your problem further

[Trey_Johnson]

560 GTX ti ( not overclocked )
8GB RAM
i5-2400 processor.

Checked both of the games on system requierments lab website.. all passed the results, even passed the recommended..

Does that help ?

Well ? I posted my specs.. does it tell you anything about my f**ked up issue?

[Devin]

Try install your latest Graphics drivers as well as sound drivers.

[Darxez]

Get a Driver updates, Driver Genius is a good one (if you want, I do not advice it (will work once), you can crack it)

[Devin]

I've had issues with some of the new Nvidia drivers, although this latest one is good.

[Ragdoll]

Download CoreTemp and play BF3 or MOH in windowed mode... when it freezes, take the temperatures you see and post 'em here.

The issue isn't as f**ked up or uncommon as you think, Google might be a good helper, too. Anyways, you just posted a CPU, GPU, and the amount of RAM... A bit more would be appreciated.

A friend of mine with a 1155 based motherboard (you have a 1155 based motherboard) has the same issue in one particular game. Not the same as the games you mentioned, but there's basically four things I'm thinking of:

-1. Insufficient or faulty power supply;
-2. Faulty motherboard (unlikely, though);
-3. Bug in your drivers or operating system;
-4. Overheating. (Read first)

1. Your power supply might not offer enough energy to the rest of your system and therefore makes it fail under large amounts of stress, causing you to get these random freezes. What kind of power supply do you have? I'd like to have a brand and a model, not just a wattage. The friend that I was talking about earlier, for instance, has a 750 watts ''Combat Power'' PSU. Some cheap brand which will most likely fail him in a couple of years. I personally never have and never will go cheap on the power supply, because I know how much it can matter. If it doesn't provide enough power, you might experience lagspikes, and these lagspikes can also come as.. you guessed it: freezes.

2. Your motherboard could've been produced with flaws. Sandy Bridge (1155) motherboards are known for revisions, and you wouldn't be the first to have a faulty Asus or Gigabyte motherboard (assuming you choose either one of those). However, the problems you'd get if that was the case, don't quite match your problem. Still worth a look if you run out of options, though.

3. Keeping your drivers up to date is always a wise thing to do. Make sure you have the latest stable nVidia driver that matches your videocard installed. It was released last month and is known by version 306.97. Also, make sure to run CCleaner and clean the register before and after installing these drivers. Not necessarily needed, but it's better to be safe than fast. If that doesn't work, you could try to reinstall your operating system. The issue that my friend was/is having started occuring around the time when he reinstalled his. A fresh installation of the operating system gets rid of any existing software issues anyways.

4. Ragdoll basically told you what to do. Overheating is something that happens to a lot of computers and is the main reason for videocards to 'die' (often repairable).

[Trey_Johnson]

I do have the latest graphic driver from the nvidia websites, always had the lastest one  , and tried older one's aswell and it didnt help.

Thanks anyways for the help Devin, mark , Ragdoll and Salmonella.

Salmonella, I have absolutely no idea what motherboard and all the stuff  you said means.. but I have a plan, dont know why I havent thought about it eariler.

I filmed the problem with my phone, and i'll go the computer store in few days, show it to them and explain the problem, and they will surely know ( the same store I bought the pc from ), maybe they will be able to explain it to me in a language that I can understand :P beacuse I realy have no clue about computers..

The thing is, there could be at least 30 different reasons for your problem. Goodluck there, but I'm afraid they won't be able to do a lot about it unless they are actually able to try different things on your PC.

well I can bring the pc over to them, its not that big of a deal, they have places to connect it.. and some of them are 30+ years old gamers with insane computers that all their lives is computers, so I think I have a pretty good shot.. I dont have anything to lose anyways, just wonder why I havent thought about this a year ago.

Thanks alot for the help anyways, if they wont know what problem is, i'll ask for what you said about motherboard and all those other stuff :P

[Darxez]

Normally they can fix the problem in a quick time, they probably got a program that testes all things in ur PC.

You'll do fine .
