Hi all
Thats my question: Has anyone on Earth REALLY SOLVED Batlefield 3´s Blue Screen Of Death? :pfff:

To all people who is going to ask me about my GFX temp, MOBO updated bios, updated drivers, power of the PSU, amperage of PSU 12V rail, and faulty RAM (one of their favourites), overclocking practices........ thanks but I don´t need that kind of help.

I am talking about the specfic cause of BSOD in Battlefield 3.

Some threads say that it is caused by a conflict between the Realtek onboard soundcard and PunkBuster.
Is there any way to fix it apart from buying a USB external soundcard?

EA support incredibly does not have the SLIGHEST idea about fixxing it. Their questions are like "Does your Pc meet the minimum system requirements?"

THANK YOU!

BSOD is usually a RAM issue in my experience. But you probably didn't want to hear that!

 

Why are You are not willing up check temps, change drivers, etc? something has to be wrong somewhere!

Hi :)

Going by the specs in your signature which are not the greatest... are you trying to run BF3 at too high a setting.... i.e if you LOWER the settings in BF3... does it still crash ?

All the best Brett :)

Hi and TX Brett

the signature is outdated:
I have 8Gb and ATI HD6870
Game runs great at medium settings. GFX temp is never over 62º and CPU never over 68º
BF3 is the only games that crashes

68C for the cpu is too high.

According to this page
http://ark.intel.com/products/4292 [...] MHz-FSB%29
71C is the max operating temp for the Q9505

i can tell you now this is a high temp issues, BF3 makes GPU's run VERY VERY hot.

what ever your card is go into your control center and turn the fan up to 50% during game play manually. i have this with my 6970 and a friend had same on his 560TI tuned fan on myself and no BSOD ever again since, same goes for my friend

Good point gothems finest, in no way could this issue be hardware or even driver related.

 

TC please disregard my previous post.

lol, by definition BSOD is a problem with hardware or driver for hardware (in which case it also comes down to hardware problem) because OS throws a BSOD when it doesn't know how to handle whatever is going on. if the problem is software conflict in most cases your windows has no reason to crash. BSOD indicates that windows had no idea how to proceed.

personally I have yet to see a single BSOD that was caused by software other than driver
