This is getting fricken old! I play PR for 20 minutes then it locks up then after that it's every 5 fricken minutes! It's not my O/S Install (7) tried that. The problem came about with my new hardware. Asus 570, Asus M5A99x EVO, 8gb of DDR3 (Forget brand), and a Phenom 1100T X6. I've moved memory slots to see if that fixes it. No. Reinstalled everything. Nothing. When the game locks up my CPU cools way down 10-15*C. I think it may be hardware side.... Any ideas gentlemen?

My guess: video drivers. Follow the instructions here EXACTLY: Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Then re-install your latest drivers (or the last known fully functional drivers). How hot is your GPU getting? It would have to be very high to be a heat issue; my GTX 460 runs at about 70 degrees C under full load.

If a video driver re-installation doesn't fix it, run Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool on each stick of RAM to be sure it's not a RAM issue.

Post back.

Drivers are newest available. Didnt fix it but gonna run driver sweeper anyways.

570 runs at 46*C Full load and CPU Core temp between 35-40*C Full load.

I will run Memtest tonight and see what it says. I do know that my comp doesnt lock up in any other game which is odd. Im thinking maybe hardware compatibility or BC2 is a lot more tolerant to computer hiccups....

I'll post back soon
