I was hoping for some help solving my display problems in the new Battlefield release.

At various times (10 mins in game, 90 mins in game) my game freezes up for about 5 seconds then goes to a white screen. I am still able to hear the sounds of the game, but see only a white screen.

A few times my security system says my ATI display driver has recovered from a serious error, but other times is says nothing. I had no issues playing the BETA on my system, only the released game. I have the most updated drivers and this was a new build so no previous drivers existed.

Any Ideas/suggestions?

SPECS:
AMD Athlon X4 620 2.6ghz (Quad Core)
Gigabyte MOBO GA-MA785G-UD3H
550W Rocket Fish PSU
4 GB DDR2 G. Skill Ram
ATI 4870 HD 1 GB DDR5
Windows 7 64-Bit
 
Solution
Or uninstall all old ATI drivers , reboot to safe mode, run driver sweeper, clean all radeon vga results, reboot to windows and install new radeon driver.
Doing this every time new driver is release.
I had same issue with bcc2 and after reinstalling driver run game with no problem.
Hi Guys I FIXED WSOD in BC2 on Windows 7

I have head frequent Windows 7 WSOD in BC2 since I got a new GIGABYTE GTX560 Ti. It never used to happen with my old GTS8800. I tried about 6 different solutions offered here and on different forums but nothing worked. Funny thing is it runs perfect on the same system if I boot into Vista on my other drive. I can play on Vista for 5 hours straight and no WSOD, so I knew it’s not hardware.

The FIX is to update your PunkBuster. http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
Make sure you add BC2 in the game section so it updates correctly. I have been playing BC2 on Windows 7 no problems for 2 days now.

Good Luck all.
