Specs are to the left. Issues started while trying to play BF3. I had zero crashes for a couple of weeks, then all of a sudden I began to crash out within 5-15 minutes of playing. The game would throw an error message, and I would have to restart in order to launch the game again.
I managed to track down that BF3 throws a fit when your PageFile is turned down (I had it set at 1-2GB instead of 8GB). Switched it back to normal, and all was well (although I cannot determine why it decided to give me a problem after no changes to my system after running BF3 on W7 and W8 with a 1-2GB PageFile since the game came out).
Now, we're having a slightly different issue.
Every other time I launch a game, I will get a "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." crash relatively quickly after launching. After it recovers, my game will chug along at around 20-25FPS, only until a restart, when all is back to normal. I had already tested my GPU with FurMark torture test looking for artifacts, temps were normal, and I have run IntelBurnTest to ensure CPU and Memory are good to go.
I am at a loss. Is it Windows 8? Nvidia's 320.49 driver? DirectX is manually updated to the latest version, I am getting crashes in both Battlefield 3 and Path of Exile. Any suggestions, guys?
