MW3 freezing

[foster grant]

Is anyone else having issues when trying to start MW3 Single Player ( not tried Online Play )? , It freezes my PC I get a BSOD and I have to reboot my system ..could it be a Steam issue ?.

I'm gonna install MW2 and see if I get the same issue....fingers crossed

No, it's just your drivers.

I notice you are running a GTX 560 Direct CU. The exact same card i am. The 5xx series of cards are said to not been to keen on these latest set of drivers for many people.

With the latest 301.42 drivers i had overheating problems along with other glitches. I have since gone back to 285.62 driver's without a single problem.

So may be try some of the older driver's to see if it helps in your case. Make sure to Driversweep inbetween though.


Good luck

There is another possibility - COD games always used to have an issue with the microphone/recording (they still have a pretty poor implementation) - especially on some realtek sound hardware if you didn't have a mic plugged in or recording setup properly it could cause all kinds of issues on starting up.
