Battlefield 4 Crashing PC

chriso132 · 6 Jan 2014 at 19:49

Hi, i know there are lots of BF4 problems but im trying to work out if its a game issue or if its my pc. In single player comes up with a "Battlefield 4 is not working" Error and in MP it just crashes my pc to a blue screen and says my pc has ran into a problem. I didnt manage to see the error but i think it said "driver" somewhere in it.

Thanks

Make sure every driver is up to date.

Everything is up to date

my money is on CPU OC being unstable.

Bf4 stress CPU hard and highlights any instability in a OC causing BSOD.

up Vcore etc or knock OC down a few 100 MHZ

BF4 hates OC's. Had to step mine down a lot to run the game as I was BSOD'ing daily.

Try doing a driver sweep and removing any old drivers.

People are split on the issue but have you unparked your CPU cores also?

Check in event viewer to see what error code was generated for the blue screen. Event 19 cpu parity whea error is a common one on oc'd ivybridge systems.

is unparking cores rated to 4th gen i7;s???

im right in saying it doesnt apply to me with i7 920?

Ive had 2 critical errors in the last 24 hours. Apparantly both are kernel-power

I had kernel power 41, it was my oc's, stepped them back and (touch wood) haven't had one since!
