Battlefield 3 and windows 8

Since installing windows 8 I can not play Battlefield for more than 5 minutes until I get the error "battlefield 3 has stopped working". Updated pb but still the same. I have also tried it under windows 7 and now getting the same problem with that!!!  We pay a lot of money only to be unable to play the game!!
