Ok so when i log in everything is working great. I get into the campaign and start playing graphic looking awesome. About 5 minutes in the screen locks up in the game..I have to use task manager to shut the program down..I have updated my 470gtx Nivdia drives to the last 2 versions with no luck. I do not have this problem with any other game so i dont think my graphics card is overheating. What do i do?

General help
The MGC Chatbox Evo is really easy to use
You can :
You can :
- Send chats : you just have to enter the text in the dedicated input field and then to validate it by pushing the return key ou by clicking on the OK button.
- Format the chats : once you un-collapse the chatbox formatting toolbar by clicking on the BBCode button, you have access to different formatting options for your chats. You can format a chat by selecting a part (or the totality) of it and then select one of the buttons/list. You can also add empty formatting tags by selecting nothing and clicking one of the buttons/menu thus allowing you to add the chat text afterwards between these tags.*
- Access to the different channels : you can have access to different channels restricted to only some usergroupds or for specifics use of the chatbox. The different channels are accessible from the buttons on the left of the chatbox.*
- Edit your chats (or others chats) : the edition of a chat can be done by a simple double-click on it.*
- Use specific commands : some commands can be accessible in the chatbox depending on the will of the administrator(s) of your forum. These commands let you execute specific actions of formatting, management, etc... You will herebelow the information on the command which are accessible to you. You must notice that you are not forced to use the command prefixes (/command_name) when you use them in the channel they are attached to (except in the general channel).*

Go into Origin, right click the Battlefield 3 icon, and select Repair Install. Will probably take all night, but if there is a problem with the game, it should fix it. I had an issue with not being able to join any game, and it fixed that.

Just a shot here, but do you have all the video option cranked up? If so cut back a little and see. I've never played the game, but I have noted in other games sometimes your hardware isn't a capable as you think. I have dual 460's in my current rig.. wonder how it'll run BF3

What OS are you running. I'm running Windows7 Pro and had a similar issue. I right clicked on exe icon picked "run as administrator" and it stopped. Also, look at your Anti Virus. The Punkbuster stuff in BF3 may be picked up by your AV and stop it. Try disabling temporarily and running. Just some thoughts.

Also, there's always the "feel how hot the heatsink on the video card gets" option. Touch it. Is it really effin' hot? If so, take the cover off your PC and point a floor standing fan (set on high) in there and REALLY cool it for a bit. If it stabilizes, then you have a heat issue. Somewhere. BF3 puts a hella load on your hardware.

The run as administrator thing is huge apparently. Everyone needs to allow that instance in all cases even if you dont have any issues because things can still start to pop up. I was having a huge issue of artifacting on the big open maps. Polygons would form randomly out in the space with no reason at all. After updating to the newest beta drivers and turning the settings down to high, I havent had the issue happen again.... yet...
