Hi Guys,

I've just upgraded my PC so i can play Battlefield 3. My sepcs are the following:

Asus P6X58D-E X58 Socket 1366 Gigabit Lan Tripple PCI-E 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Intel Core i7 960 3.2 GHz Socket 1366 8MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor
G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600mhz Sniper Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.25V
1 x 150GB WD Raptor
2 x 500GB WD HD
Gainward 8800GTX
800w Silent PSU

All i have on the Raptor is Windows 7 Ultimate and Battlefield 3 installed, oh and Skype. I've done all the Windows Updates, updated all drivers including the chipset. Nothing is overclocked, done tests on the memory and the HD. Upgraded the BIOS to the latest version, nothing is overheating as all the temps are fine.

The PC is fine, it only totally locks up (screen freezes, sound is stuck making a buzzing sound and can not do anything with the keyboard) when im playing Battlefield 3 around 15mins into playing. I really need some help on fixing this issue please as i only upgraded everything so i could play BF3 and i cant even play it because of this issue. If anyone can suggest anything that would be great.

Thank you.
