Ok so I've been playing battle field 3 for a while and never had any issues... till about a week ago the game will freeze ever couple minutes for about 5-12 seconds and makes it really unplayable. My graphics setting doesn't matter and I meet the system requirements so I'm at a loss to what the problem is.

My specs are:
AMD FX 8350 @4.5ghz
EVGA GTX 660 2gb
8gb 1866mhz RAM
 
Solution
if you updated the drivers recently, use an older one.

also, check your heatsinks (cpu ang gpu), it might be dirty. check hard drives, rams also
Start by running MEMTEST for a full pass. www.memtest.org

You should also check your CPU and Graphics temperatures. You may wish to temporarily put the CPU and DDR3 memory back to the recommended defaults (your RAM may already be).

It may be some other issue but I'd start there.
