Battlefield 3 won't start on my pc....
whenever i'm running the exe. file on my win7 64 bit, it says that battlefield 3 has stopped working.
Problem event name: app crash.
it says reinstalling origin may fix the problem, i've tried that too but the same problem pops up..
Here r my system specs:
Intel i5 2500k 3.4 ghz
ASUS p8z68- V pro/gen 3
Ram: 4x2 ddr3 corsair
gpu: powercolor raedon 6670 2gb ddr3
monitr res: 1920x1080
hdd: 1TB seagate.
Plz help..........
 
install origin then check the game files integrity. your likely missing an update or you have corrupted files.
if your files are corrupt you have 3 options.
make sure your system is stable by testing the cpu/ram and hdd for read errors
make sure your not infected. run malwarebytes avira and spybot S&D (even if you have a god av you can still get infected.
check the files are properly installed and all the accompanying files are there 2. like direct x...
 
Had the same problem and tried to fix it for 2 days on a new PC build until I tried this and it worked right away.

Try deleting Virtu MVP at Control Panel > Programs and Features.
It automatically installed when I was installing all the drivers when I first built my computer. Now it works!

Just another tip that may save you hours of downloading BF3 over the internet. I saved my BF3 folder from my old PC (had initially thought this was the prob but after a fresh install and a whole day of downloading BF3 again it still didn't work) and just dropped it into my Origin folder (for me this was C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Origin Games\) and started the update and it found my existing files.


Good luck from the Emerald Isle 🙂
