    Ok so ive just downloaded battlefield field (Took me 4-5 days on my internet lol -.-) and ive installed it and started playing online for the first time and i can play it for like a minute with no lag or fps issues but then it just crashes and i cant exit using the screen using the normal buttons (escape or windows button) so i have to turn the laptop off.Any ideas on why its doing it?

    Does it crash with any other game?

    Did you notice if any report shows up in event viewer?

    All your drivers up to date? Check using IE

    nvidia Scan

    intel Scan

    Where did you download the game?

    Click start and type Dxdiag and press enter.

    See if any errors show up

    Just been reading some stuff on BF crashes (I dont have the game myself)

    Seems like overclocks have a big part to play. Is your comp overclocked at all?

    Ye, so many issues Im reading result in bad voltage. Either from Bios on MB or on GPU. But not having the game might be best waiting for more advice from someone who has it. Maybe others have come across the same issue.

    Have you updated the game with any and all updates available for it?
