I'm not that inept. A 32bit link I found spit out a 64bit driver. After I recognized the problem the game still wasn't working. New drivers also screwed a couple of my other games too. Every time I install a new nvidia driver my box goes haywire and it reminds me why I never update. I've downloaded this piece of **** 3 times and it still doesn't work.

I'm worried about my computer. If it was running right it would probably be good enough, but I've been having video driver issues on a more frequent basis. It started when I was playing EVE Online, the video would cut out and the screen would go black for 10-15 seconds, then come back. It would do that about every 15 minutes. Then it became every 10 minutes, 5 minutes, then it got down to about 1 minute and it was not worth playing the game. I blamed the game, but it has been doing this recently on other things, even the windows desktop. Buy a good, modern card with good ratings, and I get this ****. It's an ASUS 5850DirectCU, the one with the voltage unlocked so you can really overclock the **** out of it. Outperforms a lot of ATI's top of the line cards, for about half the price.
Anyway, my point is, if I buy BF3 and start getting video driver crashes and can't enjoy it, I'm going to smash my computer Gallagher style.

Uninstall video drivers and every thing video card related. Restart your pc every time it asks. delete all old driver files. Install newest non beta video card driver. Have had to do it with my laptop a few times.
Might be time for a formatting and update mobo drivers.

Done all of the above. When it began doing it, it was at random. It had worked fine for a month or two prior, then all of a sudden it started doing this, with increasing frequency.
