It happened 3 times with far cry 2 and once with bfbc2 in the last week, any ideas? They just freeze then dissapear...

What PSU do you have? Did you add any new hardware? Have you tried with the cpu at stock some games are sensitive to OC.

How did you purchase the games btw? Retail/Steam/EADM etc? I had to repair my Black ops tonight as it kept crashing to desktop.

Iirc CTD was quite common with BFBC2 when it first came out.
Do you have the latest drivers for you mobo & graphics card?

You could try also try running without Crossfire and/or Eyefinity ...

Nah, no new hardware. Both games are retail, although they both have auto updaters so i guess theyre the latest versions. And my psu is and antec cp 850w, my oc is stable and ive had no other problems in the past with any other games, just these two which ive recently purchased...

the last punkbuster update has been having problems with afterburner and some other software so that could be the cause of bfbc2 CTD's but not sure about far cry 2.

no1 has asked this yet and from the sounds of it probably not the problem. But have up updated all your drivers?

pinkpotato · 14 Apr 2011 at 22:23

Videocard drivers are definately up to date, ill see if the motherboard has any new ones. I think it might be what chipps said as i run afterburner and i have recently updated pb because ive only had the game for about 2 weeks.

I had this with what turned out to be a bad stick of RAM. Run memtest and see if that throws up any errors. Also check in BIOS that you have your RAM at the correct voltage.
