Battlefield 3 Crashing, bad drivers?

[Guruftw]

Hello, I have been getting crashing problems since I updated the drivers on my grapic card and a new version of Eveg Precision X, befor the new drivers I was running an OC with the settings: Power Target 115%, GPU Clock offset +53MHz and Mem Clock offset +700.

If I try to run at this rate with the new drivers and updated Precision X then the grapic card drivers crash 5-20mins in the game, if I run the card at default settings (no OC) the game just freezes 10-30 mins in the game and the window "battlefield 3 has stoped working" pops up. The max temperature I have seen on my card is 51 C. And sometimes my sound stops working and after maybe 30 sec it comes back slowly.

I have also tryed to repair battlefield 3 with the repair tool, it did not fix anything.
This problems are only happening in battlefield 3

I have no clue on what to do more other then downloading old drivers or try to reinstall the game, if you guys know some stuff that might help please guide me, Thanks!

I don't think there is much to say until you've tried another driver.

Well lately I have been having it as well but that's because my card dropping down to pcix2.0 x4 from x16.. Just have a look in gpu-z what ur card is running at.

I guess you are right, and maybe I should try MSI afterburner instead?

It is running in x16.

Have a look once you crash. This diagnose for my system took me 2 weeks.. Who wouldn't think of it that my first pcix slot is defective..

It very well might be your drivers. Nothing past 310.90 is stable for me when I play BF3, and a lot of others over on overclock.net are reporting problems with recent Nvidia drivers and BF3.

Try an older driver and see if it helps any.

I finally found the fix for it. The problem was DirectX related and can be solved by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\__Installer\directx\redist and run DXSETUP and it should be fixed.

I also reinstalled the drivers and im running MSI Afterburner instead of EVEG Precision X, so if anyone get this problem this might help
