Battlefield 3 app crash error, need help!

[shmeare]

I'm at the end of my rope... I don't know what else to do at this point. I run the game on my pc, everything loads and I can play for about 5 minutes. Then, the game crashes...

AMD Video card has most recent update.
Windows 7 is up to date.
I have all the game updates.
I have all the browser updates.

The only change in the system was a BIOS update on my motherboard.

uninstall and reinstall the game,see if that works . hard to say what you did.

[shmeare]

Already uninstalled and reinstall the game as well. Forgot to mention that! I even deleted local folders in order to have the game to replace them. I also synced with cloud base storage, both enabled and disabled.

can you play any other games(putting a load on the vid card?)
try a different vid card driver. vid card can be going out(dieing)
just throwing out ideas. if you like me and have everything backed up reinstall windows,a fresh wipe and a clean install might fix it.again just ideas cause not sure what you did.
i view computers like people,**** just goes wrong for no reason.

so if it was me i would wipe the hard drive, do a fresh windows install then the game. make sure the game works then start reinstalling everything else. dont mess with the bios or reg and dont try to mod stuff if you dont know what your doing.
also while tying this another idea came to mind, your power supply can be going out too. i had what happened to you happen to me twice a long time ago.one was me over clocking vid card and fried it.the other was power supply was on the fritz,had to buy a new one. also same note buy a power supply that can handle more draw then your using.
sorry i type like a fifth grader

A lot of questions to ask, but my first is...

Did you update the video card drivers recently? Sometimes it makes it crash, not work correctly, act quirky, whatever. I usually keep mine 1 or 2 versions behind the most recent, and the games work fine. I play BF3 and had that happen to me in the past, but I got lucky with the video driver rollback.

When BF2 was doing that, a simple uninstall was not enough. The uninstaller did not remove registry entries, had remove them by hand, then reinstall.

Also, you may not have enough memory available as windows accumulates spyware, bloatware, etc so much stuff is loading that you don't have enough available and BF CTD.

Might need reinstall windows AND bf
