I just installed a new Windows 7 64bit with ATI 12.1 Drivers.
Im using ATI 4850 to play Battlefield 3 on my PC. But after 10mins game just FREEZES with a SOUND BRRRR and PC restarts.
So I removed all ATI drivers (12.1) Cleaned them with “Driver Cleaner Pro” from SAFE MODE. Cleaned every print with “Windows Install Clean Up”.
SOLUTION:
1. Clean drivers and install updated GPU Drivers
2. Update BIOS
3. Go start, type CMD, Run it as Administrator
4. Type(inside command prompt window) sfc -scannow
5. Once 100% scan complete, Restart your PC.
6. Now go to ControlPanel > Uninstall inatalled windows update > KB971033?
7. Uninstall “KB971033”
8. Restart your machine.
9. Now Run Origin or Steam as Administrator, as well set BF3.exe to RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
10. Hope this helped FIXING BATTLEFIELD 3 FREEZE or BLUE SCREEN PROBLEM.
Be more specific about number 6 pls.
nvm KB971033 never installed since my windows arent “official”:D
If u r using cracked version, sfc -scannow > removed the crack.
And when you uninstall KB971033 you can still run the uncracked windows 7.
