[Solved] Computer Freezes on i7 2600k , 6950cf still freezing

I built my rig a month ago, I had no freezing problem on SC2, Brink and etc. But recently when I eventually starting to play bfbc2 again,(u can say first time on this rig) My computer froze on me, I played it on triple monitor eyefinity, and 1 monitor thinking it was overheating problem. I didn't OC anything yet, except my cpu seem be oc by itself by to at 3.5ghz. I disabled ppl overvoltage, set BIOS on normal, set Ram mhz and latency

CPU spec:
i7 2600k at 3.5ghz (read in BIOS) 1.35v
p8p67 deluxe
16gb g.skill 1600mhz 1.5v LA 9-9-9-24
2 x 6950 2gb in CF 800/1250 (reference card, non-flashed or OC)
OCZ ZX 1250w gold
1 vertex 3 120gb, 1 vertex 2 120gb, 1 - 1tb caviar black, 1 - 1tb hitachi (bfbc2 was running from this HD), 1 - 2tb hitachi,
BIOS 1305
CCC 11.3 2D : 8.01 3D: 7.14
win 7 64bit
MY cpu froze on
My cpu usage dipped before it froze at 28%, it was running around 50%-60% - 50C , min 29C ,max 61C
GPU usuage also dipped before it froze at 34%/32%, it was running around 40%/50% - 49C/53C

The freeze usually occur 30min - 1hr estimate in bfbc2, but in SC2 i played for 2hr-3hr it doesnt freeze.

Also my game had random but rarely occur black flash while in-game, i suspect my PSU not getting enough power from the outlet. I didn't OC yet, bec i'm waiting for a replacement part for my WC set-up . But any advice will be nice

Changing it to high performance in the power option didn't fix it=/ still freezed on me

Take out half that memory and try again. Have you configured your SSDs correctly? Have you reduced the page file size?

You didn't actually list your MB.

If your vertex 3 is near full and the dynamic page file pushed it to the limit, it might freeze.

I doubt the black flashes are related. Probably just a CF driver issue.

How about some testing then? Run Prime95 for a few hours see if that produces a problem. Then run Furmark a while and see if that does anything. Then do both at once. Keep monitoring CPU and GPU temps during these tests of course.

Beyond that make a memtest boot disk and run that overnight.

My sound card is a creative blaster x-fi titanium, I didn't use the onboard sound. Also there wasn't BSOD even though i uncheck auto restart if hardware problem thing. The BSOD viewer didnt read anything.......I ran Prime 95 for 2 hour, nothing happened (my cpu froze at around 30min), running furmark now

rraannddoo,

I forgot to say that I too have your save motherbord (except the evo version, very similar), and I too have the x-fi titanium. I have my SSD connected to the intel (grey) SATA III port on the mobo, with the marvell sata disabled in the bios, also, I have the onbord audio disabled in the bios.

I have the same motherboard and cpu and started having freezing issues about a month ago. I bought the motherboard (ASUS P8P67 Deluxe) in January.
There is an issue with the chipset that controls the SATA devices. This drove me nuts. Asus will replace the board for free.

ur talking about b3 version, everyone has the b3 now......so do i.....i found the problem it was just that 2.1 msi burner will cause bfcb2 lock up, i just down graded to 2.0 msi burner. My lock up/freeze stop occuring
