This information seems related to my processor, but my computer never BSOD before, only in Bad company 2 Multiplayer,
Did tests like prime 95 for longer than a day, no crashs no errors, seems stable,
No overheats, No overclocked, just BSOD,

Does anyone know what's the problem?

Note: During BSOD, i got a message
BSOD. "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor"

Spec:
Intel i7 920 (Bloomfield)
3x2gb Kingstone HyperX DDR3
Asus P6T Deluxe V2
ATI Radeon 4770
Computer usage: 6 months
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate OEM
BSOD counts since new: Never until play Bad Company 2 Multiplayer.

Hardware can mean a lot of things, but have you checked your RAM? Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using ImgBurn. Boot from the CD, and run at least 5 passes.

 

[squall0833]

Just do memtest86 v4.0 today, 6 passes without any errors.

Thanks for help,

I just solve my problem,

It was my onboard sound problem, BSOD happens if I play bad company 2 with onboard sound enabled,

I tried completely uninstalled my sound driver, use windows driver instead, the problem still remain,

I disabled my onboard sound from BIOS, playing bad company 2 without sound, no more BSOD since then, (if i turn it back on, BSOD happens again)

I just got my new creative x-fi elite pro sound card last week, playing bad company 2 with it no problem so far, as long as I disabled my onboard sound in BIOS,

no more BSOD in past weeks, onboard sound was the cause, only happens to Bad company 2

At least we know the cause now. Good diagnosing!

Let us know if you need anything else.

I have the exact same problem.

All games installed on this computer work flawlessly, but when my brother goes online to play 'Battlefield Bad Company 2', the game sometimes crashes/freezes and BSOD's.

I just don't understand what changes might affect the game to freeze when playing on-line.

I've used all my internet data for the month so the connection has been throttled. I also have some unexpected connection drop-outs so I actually thought that this may be the cause of the problem.

Why would additional on-line sounds cause the game to crash/freeze?

If this really is the problem to BFBC2-on-line, can somebody give me, or at least try to suggest a microscopical explanation to why exactly this causes the game to BSOD?

Is there anybody else having the exact same problem?

Thanks

I had the same problem with my Windows 7 64 bit installation and Battlefield 2 where the game would cause the computer to freeze completely with a fast repeating buzzing sound. I had no problems at first with Windows 7 but then one day I enabled the US landscape theme and set it to automatically change the desktop background image every 5 or 10 minutes. This is when the freezing during game play started to occur.

The solution, I simply changed the them back to the default windows 7 aero them with the windows logo in the middle. Ever since, no more freezing. I played BF2 for an hour straight with no problems, where as before I couldn't last for more than 10 minutes before I had to hard reboot my system. It took me a while to figure this out so I hope this helps.
