Didn't have any problems prior to January when I got some malware on my system. Tried to clean it, but something went wrong during one of the scans I was running and I lost EVERYTHING.

 

So I figured this was a good time to upgrade to Win7 64-bit. Installed the game, updated all the patches. Made sure punkbuster was all up to date. But now, when I play for a bit my whole system will freeze up.

 

I've closed down all unneeded processes running in the background.

 

I can play World of Tanks for hours with no problems and that is a much more graphic intensive game and resource hog. So I highly doubt that's the issue.

 

If anyone has any suggestions on what I could try, I'm all ears.

You just need to clean up your karma. See, you keep killing me and the universe doesn't like that so it kicks you out of the game for me. Stop being an asshole and your computer will stop freezing up! :whistle:

@@Bombshell - Duly noted! I'll make sure to check my fire when we're on opposing teams. I should get you a name tag for your uniform! 

 

@@Sammy - I always forget about that, I changed those settings and will give it a try tomorrow.

Okay... it's still causing my computer to freeze. I will try the Vista SP2 tonight at some point. I even tried uninstalling, reinstalling and stepping through the process of updating both the game and PB. Downloaded DirectX 10 and 11, just in case 9 is not cutting it anymore or not able to keep up with my with my GC.

 

I know my GV gets warm, but there is no way that CoD4 is causing the system to lock up due to overheating when I'm playing other, more graphic intensive games like World of Tanks, Assassin's Creed 4 and Batman Arkham Origins. I am not overclocking anything.

 

I WANNA PLAY DAMMIT! I can't go for more than 3 or 4 rounds before it locks on me.

If I have midget porn on my computer it's because you've been hacking my machine again and putting your favorites on here. LMAO

I highly doubt it would be a driver issue, remember this is a game from 2007, with dx9, and Win 7 comes with dx11.

Can you play any CoD4, or does it freeze upon start of map or?

I mean u can play WoT but not CoD?

Hows your Ram?

CoD back in 2007 recommended: 1 GB (2 GB for Windows Vista), not that I think this is the issue either.....

 

I think its hardware related, but thats just me. :cry:
