Re: BF3 reboots my PC...
Got a text from my pal today:
Him - "What is your orgin screenname"
Me - "BrockSamson1985"
Him - "Sucks. I probably need a new gpu. I only have a 9800gt."
Me - "It should run on low settings. But my buddy was having issues with his 9800gtx. His pc would crash every few minutes while playing."
Him - "Its too laggy even on single player."
Me - "Did you download the preview drivers?"
Him -"Yes"
** 2 hours later **
Him -"Playing any battlefield tonight?"
Me - "Probably not, I am working late."
Me - "So you have a decent frame rate now?"
Him - "It's flawless"
Me - "Awesome! What fixed it?"
Him - "New $300 video card fixed it."
Thought you guys might find that funny.SapiensErus liked this post

Re: BF3 reboots my PC...
It happened to me also few times now , like Thorsen said no BSOD ,no warning from my CPU fancontroler just restarting Windows
I got the two 6870 in Crossfire with newest drivers so i think it is not Gpu manufacturer related ,it has tto be something else.

Re: BF3 reboots my PC...
Okay well. I fixed my problem.
Brock, I owe you a big thanks for making me check something I normally would not have. My PSU fan had indeed stopped working, and my PSU was overheating.
I ran out to my local PC enthusiast store and grabbed a 700w 50a(+12) PSU and played with no problems for 3-4 rounds last night.

Well I kind of did the same thing. Friday after finally downloading and installing BF3 and spending 2 hours trying to get the right driver that wont cause my system to crash I get to play. Well it was laggy as hell and I couldn't see vary far. So Saturday morning I went to fry's and bought 2 new xfx 6850 2gb video cards. I have 2 different systems that play on so I decided to update both cards. And now game play is awesome after spending 600.00 bucks.

Glad to hear you got the problem solved. Did you get your gtx560ti installed yet? Like you, I had a dying 9800gtx. Could hardly run on low/med settings. It looked worse than BF3 on my xbox. I went out and got the gtx560ti and now run almost completely on Ultra settings and it's amazing.

Re: BF3 reboots my PC...
Yes I did, and the card is fantastic, VERY good price point too.
I run on a custom mix of medium high. I CAN run on ultra and get 50-60 FPS but I'm a competitive dude and I don't like ANY slow downs, so I run it on medium mostly. On my settings I get about 120 fps average, even in big fire-fights.
The PSU that lost it's fan is in my OP.
