Its sounds to me like you got other drivers in there. Another good place to look in in your event viewer. i did not know about that uninstall utility. so i ran it just now. but after restarting my comp, the utility still shows up in the list of programs, so im not sure if it actually did anything. tried BF3 again after "running" the utility, and still got the same issues. so i guess it didn't do anything. not sure what i am looking for in the event viewer, or even where to look in it. the only error i can find around the time of a comp crash is this: Microsoft Antimalware Real-Time Protection feature has encountered an error and failed. Feature: Behavior Monitoring Error Code: 0x80004005 Error description: Unspecified error Reason: The filter driver requires an up-to-date engine in order to function.

Several different antiviruses are seeing BF3 as a trojan. might try disabling any antivirus you have running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just a dumb question.) Check for the 6 pin and secondary two pin connector or a single 8 pin. It definately sounds like bad drivers. Run the ATI driver uninstall and reboot. Load your new NVidia drivers and reboot. Hope and pray. Check for compatibility between ram and videa card. You'll have to go to the mobo website. Adn as a side note 625watt PS might be a bit on the small side. ALWAYS Overkill on the power supply. Hope you get it sorted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Driver Sweeper when switching between ATI and Nvidia. You can use gpu-z to see the cards temperature and EVGA Precision, MSI Afterburner or Nvidia Inspector to monitor and control the fan speed. For your psu requirement,keep in mind that wattage is not the only thing to consider as the amperage requirement on the 12volt rail is more important.

But would also suggest doing this in safe mode. Also after doing so goto your c drive and delete any folders that say nvidia or ati as your computer will try and detect the software left on your computer to reinstall. Also when checking ram stick by stick use the second dimm slot. Say you have 4 dimm slots but only two sticks of ram you would put the mem sticks in slots 2 and 4 or if you had 3 sticks of ram and 6 dimm slots you would put the ram in slots 2-4-6.

I bought driver cleaner. One of the best programs I have ever used. You most likely have old driver shit in your PC and it is conflicting. Best bet it to remove ALL the video drivers and start from scratch. Also check to see if your chip set is geforce compatible. Some mother board can do both, some cant.

A - Power Supply no enough balls or bad. B - Bad Ram (System) C - Bad Vid Ram (Video Card) D - Bad video card GPU - Resistor or similar electrode (I had a bad diode on a GTX 280 which caused some weird crap on screen).

Im going to try to recreate so I can post it here. The problem arises because the uninstall utility does not take out all the drivers, you also have to be in a dedicated admin loggin. Ill try to remember and post here soon. I have to go to work sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
