Rig Just Crashes Sometimes

I've already done that... I had a RAID 1 and broke it into a RAID 0, so it formatted everything. Still same problems.
 
Noticed something today... if I want to use BF3, it has to be one of the first things I do when I get on the computer. Otherwise it crashes like it has been.

I think it's related to a small freeze the rig does earlier. Within half an hour of turning on the computer, it does a 10 second freeze where the mouse and keys become unusable and then everything goes back to normal. I think if I get BF3 going before that, then things are fine. Maybe some obscure driver?
 
I think all that you can do is just a fresh install of windows. That should fix the freezing if you have tested both the RAM and Hard drive and both are fine.
 
Are you overclocking anything? BF3 is notorious for sensitivity to that. Also what gpu do you have again?

Edit, ok you have the 460 which is fermi. Up the Vcore voltage by 100mV using MSI afterburner and try that.

Not overclocking a thing, using optimized defaults in BIOS. Upped 460 by 100mV.

EDIT: I've noticed it stays more stable if I leave it with some sort of load on it, like F@H.

Ok, have you ensured that your RAM is set to the right voltage in the bios? Sometimes it gets undervolted on optimised settings. It should probably be 1.5V, but check and then hard set that in the bios.

Also, ensure that the 100mV is set so that in MSI AB as a force constant voltage and that it all starts up upon windows (ie all the time).

Just watch the temps when gaming.

I put 100mV+ on force constant

I'll check stuff in BIOS in a bit, I'll edit this post then.
 
Couldn't fix the damn thing... I've upgraded and re-installed everything, so this thread is mostly pointless.
