BF3 Locking up

[thestrangebrew]

Fired up BF3 last night and the game would lock up on me every 5-10mins. No audio loops, just a static screen of what was on display before locking up. I'm able to alt/tab out and run task mgr to ctr alt del it, but windows looks for a solution and finds none. Settings are all high to ultra using the following parts:

i5 750 (2.6ghz)
ASUS P7P55D Pro
EVGA 570gtx sc
4gb Ripjaws
W7 (32bit)

Updated to nvidia's drivers yesterday too. Seems to run ok in windowed mode, but that blows. It also seems to happen more so on Caspian than any other maps, but I only played for about an hr. I'm wondering if my gpu temps woud cause a lock-up, but the highest I've seen it get with BF3 so far is about 80deg.

What do you guys think?

Isn't BF3 at beta test level for now?

I would stringly suggest to find a way to contact Dice tech support, they may need a good feed on your issue to elevate their product stability.
What resolution were you playing the game at. Did you check Direct X for any incompatibility issue?
When the gane hung, what gemperature your CPU and potentially GPU were at?
Did you check Dice FAQ and tech support for relevant information about stable resolution and spec machine?
Is this the only game and program your machine hang on?

Nah it was just released yesterday (I was able to play it 9pm PST which is 12am EST). I was playing at 1920x1080 (something like that). My gpu temp never got over 80 according to speedfan but I'll DL a better monitor tonight and see how hot it runs. And yea this is the only game it hangs on. All my other games are smoot with no issues. I'm guessing it's driver or heat related atm.
