    Default Battlefield 3 problems

    I don't know why but my battlefield 3 keeps freezing after playing online for 20 to 30 minutes.
    At first I thought it was my gpu overheating but I've upgraded my case and my gpu temp is between 53-55ºC.
    I have the following pc:

    E8400 core2dou 3ghz
    8gb ddr3 1333mhz ram
    Asus Geforce GTS 450 1gb 128bit gddr5 OC edition
    500w psu

    Can anyone assist me to correct what is wrong with my pc?
    I want to get Battlefield 4 but I can't if I don't fix this problem.

    perhaps your PSU choking? I had the problem where I played about 10 - 15 minutes of Future Soldier then my PC would just loose all power and boot up again, and it happened only with Future Soldier. My PSU is dead now...

    That is what I don't understand. I replaced my old 450w psu with this current 500w.
    It only happens with bf3.

    I had a 500W as well, but what 500w do you have?

    check what you have have. remember replacing a cheap 450w with another cheap 500w is basically no upgrade at all

    I had a similar issue however, and turned out to be MS Security Essentials.

    I kinda solved the problem.
    If anyone else has a similar problem all you have to do is run cmd prompt as an administrator then enter the following commands depending on the amount of ram you have:

    2gb ram: bcdedit/set increaseuserva 3072

    4gb ram: bcdedit/set increaseuserva 4000

    8gb ram: bcdedit/set increaseuserva 8000

    It solved my freezing problem
