System lockup in BC2

If you cpu cannot run bc2 without crashing at 3.65 it isn't stable, if it works at 3.5 then it is.

As for the op, well, lockups that windows doesn't notice tends to be a total crash. I had this problem one in a blue moon in tf2 with an old p35 board although I never succeeded in tracing it because I could never reproduce it. I'm certain it was the OC though as it cpu clocks were reset to default after a hard reset and the problem disappeared when I swapped a p45 board in so I assume it had do be either the cpu or mobo.

Pushing multiple Pi instances to 256M decimal places (so 1Bil error check numbers) through the cpu is one of the largest error checked calculations you can make it do and for 15min, it's worth a shot :).
 
I don't run my CPU at 3.65ghz because it's not stable in this game, as I said twice Bad Company 2 may require some people to knock down their overclocks a little on an overclock that may be stable in everything else.
 
1. Don't have MSI Afterburner open (you can have it installed, but don't have it working)
2. Disable onboard sound via My Computer > Manager
3. Update Realtek drivers if playing with onboard

If all else fails
4. Don't play that s***ty console port of a game (see sig!)
 
Back to my original point, its not an overclock problem. Its a punkbuster problem. I can play none punkbuster or single player maps all day long at my usual overclock, but as soon as I go on a PB server i get total system lockup within half an hour. I tried running the whole machine at stock and it still locks up on PB servers.

1. I don't have MSI afterburner running at the time.
2+3. I use onboard sound but its not realtek crap on Asus ROG boards.
4. I rarely play it anyway i'm only rank 4, not 50 like u :p
 
Are you running any other gpu monitoring software, eg evga precision, asus smart doctor, gigabyte oc guru etc, this issue can happen with any of theese utilities. Precision gives me the same problem, i also used to have problems with onboard sound, (alc on my mobo), but now on a separate audio card.
 
Other than the main ATI software I don't run any GPU monitoring software as I don't overclock my GPU, it really doesn't make much difference. I used to be able to play it fine even on PB servers, its just this last month or so i've noticed it. I think last time I know it was ok was when the last big patch for the game came out, I played it that week and everything was fine. I remember 2142 was a pig with punkbuster sometimes, guess its a battlefield thing.
