Bad company 2 (and other games) are freezing like this unexpectedly after either 10 mins or 2 hours or never while gaming. Very annoying, brand new build.

Brand new system and this is the first and only OS install

Thank you.

I made a post here at the forums of the retailer I bough the components from:

Powercolor 5850 OC causing BSOD - Aria Forums

So far no-one's really said anything useful
I'm suspicious of the manufacturer overclocked graphics card

wolfhound

My graphics card is doing soemthing wrong.

Found these discrete ATI ACE log files which detail some of the errors.
I can't figure much out from these but it starts with this file not 'merging' because it is missing.

see attachments:

Do you have another video card you can use? Try testing another card in your machine and see if the BSODs stop.

Ok I've now figured out it's a problem with multiplayer Battlefield games. The crashes now happen in BF2, BF2142 and BFBC2 online ONLY. Singleplayer runs fine.

I've tried running the games in compatibility mode for xp but this has changed the graphics in strange ways in BF2 and made me lose my EA account info, soldier account info and other weird crap like that.

So what it boils down to is something is not agreeing with Punkbuster? ATI CCC? EA & Windows 7?

All steam games run fine maxed out 1080p hours on end including Bioshock.

The Catalyst Control Center has been known to cause problems. I recommend uninstalling it.

wolfhound

Not solved. Still happening. Blue screen on any battlefield game online. Must be some sort of blue screen caused by punkbuster.

Please upload new dmp please:

Go to C:\Windows\Minidump and copy all of the dmp files to the desktop. Select all>right-click on one>Send to>New Compressed folder. Then attach the zip file to your next post by use of the paperclip icon in the advanced editor.

Thanks man.
All other games work perfect. Bad company 2 singleplayer works perfect for hours with no crashes. It's only multiplayer battlefield 2, 2142, and bad company 2

Probably cause by: hardware.

Stop error 0x124, usually a hardware error.

Test your temps with Speedfan. I see you have it installed already, just report the temps.

Test RAM.

I'll give that a shot after work.

But what doesn't make sense is that I can play ANY steam game maxed out 1080p, that includes bioshock, l4d2 etc. with no problems for hours on end. I can also play non-steam; splinter cell conviction fine too.

It's just the battlefield games in multiplayer (online) mode only causes BSOD. Temperatures from what I've seen never go above anything worrying i.e. 50oC

wolfhound

Ok thanks for your time & help, I have figured out it is punkbuster and windows 7 not agreeing in some way or another. As only punkbuster usage in game is causing the freezes. I will now look for a fix
