So weird this issue remained even after a drive format and a fresh install of windows 10. Pulling the power cord and draining the capacitors by holding the power button down worked. Once I started up the PC again after doing this it acquired IP and connected.

I'm on Windows 10, after an update yesterday (reboot) my ethernet card began to report "ethernet doesn't have a valid ip configuration". Since I have 2 networks cards on my motherboard (asrock fatal1ty z68 professional gen3) I switched to ethernet 2 but the same issue was reported. Nothing else...

In game - tilde key Render.PerfOverlayEnable true Render.PerfOverlayVisible true Any large spikes?

No doubt BF3 is a CPU hog, I make the assumption the reason for this is what Nvidia calls is PhysX (explain or correct if I'm wrong). I'm going to assume BF4 will perform better in terms of FPS with more CPU power. Question - does BF3 become less CPU intensive with a low end GPU dedicated for...

Sitting in windows I have 2201 MB free with a standby of 2275 MB I'm running out of paged Memory and then get the error, physical memory never exceeds 6GB.

I use EVGA precision X and have a frame rate target of 60, it tends to fluctuate very little, temps are around 50C with all settings at max. If I disable the target then FPS sits around 125 and moves between 85 - 200 depending on how busy / quiet it is, admittedly 200 would be in a plane flying...

Ok, so that works out at about 4 hours since I made the change and have played many many rounds in BF3, so far the issue appears resolved.

Thanks for the reply, I wouldn't be against doing this but feel this is little drastic without trying some small stuff first. Since it appeared like a memory leak I've changed the bf3.exe compatibility settings by disabling visual themes and composition while the game is running. Steps I...
