Format or not to format.

1) Try to do some heavy test through Prime95 to test if your CPU isn't going to die. If you get a blue screen during test, CPU is either badly overclocked, or going unstable even at stock if you didn't ever touch anything.

2) Next step, testing the memory : MaxxMem2 (The "preview" is more than enough). Same deal, crash during test = Memory just fcked up.

3) If none of those crash, then you should test your graphic card. And there, I got no benchmark that would test the graphic card only ... Maybe Matt does ?

Prime95 : http://download.cnet.com/Prime95/3000-20...92895.html (During install, pick the "Just stress testing")
MaxxMem2 : http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Ma...30633.html (Main website seems down, somehow ?)

I always defrag my HDD, helps sometimes, but not enough.
Thanks, anyway, I'll try those.
Oh, yeah, I didn't mention, every single other game works perfectly, BFBC2, maxed out everything high, 125fps avg no freezes, crashes, stutters, nothing.
Max Payne 3, highest, avg 50-55, no crashes, freezes, nothing.
Any other game is absolutely fine, it seems only BF3 and Black Ops 2 suck when it comes to it.

Well, I did the MaxxMem thing, no crash or anything, same with Prime95.
