When I'm on Multi-player my game crashes to a black screen and then I can't click back into it although it is still there. When it does crash a little box pops up from the bottom right saying "AMD Driver has recently crashed" or something like that I never get enough time to see it, I have fully updated my drivers. If you could help it would be appreciated.

My specs:
FX4100
Radeon 7850
8GB Ram
1920x1080 resolution

Step 1: Uninstall Drivers
Step 2: Restart
Step 3: Download latest beta drivers
Step 4: Install Drivers (Custom)
Step 5: Make sure all the boxes are checked
Step 6: Install Drivers
Step 7: Restart
Step 8: Run BF3

Message again if you get a crash...
 
Sometimes when you get in the habit of downloading the latest drivers all the time you can actually run into a conflict like this and you have to roll back to the previous driver. If you do decide to try this then what you do is download the previous driver so it's on your download file and then remove/delete the current driver and empty the recycle bin once you do and restart and load the new driver.

Did exactly as you said but soon as I join I can play for about 2 minutes that it black screens and it's unable to go back in.
 
You may have a bios chip problem , I had a similar issue , maybe not exactly as yours but similar and it ended up I had a defective bios chip on the Motherboard and I had to send it in to the mannufacturer to be replaced. Once they replaced the chip it worked fine. For now I would try a different bios file and see if it makes any change , either roll back to a previous one or get the next newest one.
