Okay so, I have been getting multiple freezes lately. I have been encountering these freezes in the games Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.
The first time I got this was with BFBC2 and my friend also seemed to be having this problem. We both tried numerous “solutions” (mentioned later on) but none worked. After this I got pissed at the freezes so I started playing COD4. At first all seemed well but after 3 hours or so it froze. My friend did not seem to have any trouble but unfortunately he also got the freeze.
To clarify:
- What Happens: The games lockup and become completely unresponsive. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn’t work so we have to restart it manually. When it locks-up we see the image frozen and the sound makes like a “trrrrrrrrrrr” noise. This happens in both games.
- When it happens: I would have to say that it is quite random.
- Why it happens: We have several speculations. They are
o Heat: Not possible, my GTX 460 gets to max 65* C. And my friends 5770 stays at around 60*C
o Sound: We both uninstall RealTek and ran it on windows drivers, no change.
o Sound: We both enabled “Sound Mixer” (or whatever) in the recording tab. No change.
o PunkBuster: Don’t know how to find out.
o Power: We both run on the same outlet and I thought it could be that becomes we sometimes notice that we don’t crash when the other’s pc is off (there almost always on so we can’t find out well).
- Our Specs:
o Mine:
 I7 930 (not oc)
 6gb of DDR3 G.Skill 1600Mhz Cl7 (overclocked to factory settings)
 GigaByte x58 UD3R
 Corsair HX 750
 GigaByte Gtx460 1gb (not Oc)
 Two WD HDD SATA III in raid 0
o Friends:
 Q8400 (not Oc)
 ATI HD5770 (not Oc)
- Example
o This is one dude that seems to have exactly the same error. (note that I also tried the things he tries mentioned in the video description.

If any of you guys know anything about this error/glitch, or are also getting it, please let me know, that way others can know and cooperatively we can rid us of this annoying struggle.
For the Bad Company 2 lockup you have to disable your sound in control panel then sound or buy a sound card or usb sound, I use my usb head set and I never have any more lockups.
