Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on this website. I am in need of some help! I recently sold my i7 intel rig to build a budget AMD rig. (Due to school reasons) Anyways, long story short, whenever i'm playing BF3 Multiplayer OR Singleplayer my CPU reaches about 100 % and causes the game to crash. (Freezing of the screen then results in going alt tab and i have to CTRL ALT DELETE out of BF3.
So my question to toms hardware, is, WHY?! Why does this keep happening? Is the CPU bottle necking my 6950 or what on earth is going on? Also i play on a 27' 1980 * 1050 res.
Please help me out
P.S. I never overclocked either my CPU or GPU.
System specs as follows;
FX - 4100 @ 3.6
Gigabyte UMD3 900 FX
8 Gigs of Corsair Vengeance (2 x 4 GB)
AMD Sapphire 6950 (2G) OC Edition
800 Watt GS Corsair PSU rev 2
60 G OcZ SSD (For OS and BF3)
320G Storage HD
Thank you so much!
