PC Freeze while playing PR

[sethcb]

So, lately my pc crashes while playing PR, its diffrent every time some times after 10 min then 20 sometimes 45.

But I never play without crashes..

So I play, then my PC freezes I hear a strange sound and i cant do anything.. i need to push the reset button to reset my pc.

I only have this with PR, I can play any game with any settings without problems..
I already tried reinstal, lower settings higher settings custum settings driver updates etc

Specs:
Intel CORE I7-860
XFX HD5870
Corsair DDR3 4GB
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

What is this shizzle?

Can you describe the sound at all?

Where does it originate from? The speakers or the PC?
If its the speakers its just a looping sound artifact from the frozen game.
If it is from within the PC case you are probably having serious (mechanical) hardware problems.

PC freezes usually are
- overheating issue (check temps, dedust the pc)
- driver incompatiblity/corruption (reinstall driver, get different versions)
- system file corruption (run "chkdsk c: /r")
- any hardware fault (listen and look for anything suspicious inside the pc [fans not working, capacitors bloated/leaking/rusting])

Doubt that any of that things are it since i ONLY got it with pr, i can play BF:BC GTA COH any ohter game with the highest settings no problem, and it wont crash..

And the sounds comes from my headset/speakers.

Each game stresses resources differently. You cannot really compare those games with an aged game like bf2 in this regard, imo.

But if you insist that it is PR then try reinstalling BF2 and PR, make sure to wipe the "My Documents\Battlefield 2" folder as well. And check your installers for integrity (e.g. MD5-sum).

Tried that, worked for the first game but after that crash again. It does take longer now to crash, but it still happends.

It cannot be my computer, i tested ALL my hardware stress tested everything to the point they will explode, and nothing. Tested with some heavyer games, nothing happend.

This is and must be a PR issue.

Hmm, I know this sounds troublesome but for testing purposes clear the shader cache every time you start a game. There has been someone saying this is a work around to prevent crashes maybe it applies to your freezes too. I am not exactly sure what causes it though.
