I'm able to play one round MAYBE part of a second and then my BF3 will lock up and I'll have to Ctrl+Alt+Del into the task manager. At that time I can see a window beside the task manager that says BF3.exe has stopped working.
This has been happening for a couple months now. The frequency of the game crashes have increased ever since the latest patch that included Armored Kill.
Computer specs are in my signature. GPU is a GTX 560 Ti (not OC'd) and the CPU is also not OC'd. My temperatures do not exceed 75C and 65C for GPU and CPU respectively.
Here's what I've tried so far:
-Completely removed/uninstalled BF3.
-Completely removed/uninstalled Origin.
-Re-installed Origin, Installed BF3, updated BF3.
-Disabled cloud sync in Origin.
-Manually updated PunkBuster.
-Removed my video drivers in safe mode with driver sweeper. Re-installed the latest nVIDIA drivers (306.23)
-Rolled back to nVIDIA driver version 301.42
-Ran Memtest for 10.5 hours without error.
-Ran chkdsk.
-Ran sfc (system file checker).
-Windows is up to date.
-Deleted the contents of Documents\Battlefield 3\settings
Here are a few examples of the Event Viewer output:
The second and third correspond to DLLs related to the nVIDIA drivers. I'm not sure how to address this as I've already wiped out and re-installed the graphics drivers I feel like I've tried everything short of a reformat, which I'd really rather not do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
