Battlefield has stopped working.

Hello there everyone recently started playing battlefield 3 on a regular basis and I have a problem often after around 1 hour my game would crash so basically then screen would go black and then I hit ctr l+Alt+Del and it comes up with battlefield has stopped working...Right I am using Mozilla Firefox with the latest flash player. Usually the browser crashes at the same time and it comes with adobe flash has crashed maybe that's got something to do with it? Anyway its not the graphics settings I have them set on medium to test it so no. My system specs are :

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
8GB Ram @ 1800
500gb Seagate Hardrive
AMD FX8150 3.60GhZ
Corsair H60i water cooling 2013 edition
Nvidia GTX 550ti

Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S.
I have updated graphics drivers to latest ones and updated punkbuster. I have also updated bios. And still the same problem.

    Hi mitsosufo!

    Okay your system specifications shouldn't be the reason for this problem.

    Please download the latest physx driver. This could solve your problem. You could try the nvidia beta-driver.

    Go to your custom settings of your video-card software. Disable all extra options for enhanced graphics and set the preferences for AA and anisotropic to “use application settings”. Set the BF3 graphic options to “low quality” or reduce AA and anisotropic filtering to a minimum.
    Launch the game, if the issue is solved, you can try to set the graphic options higher.

    Even if your system should be able to handle BF, some graphic setups and combinations with your video-card s software could cause trouble.

    Sometimes, this issue can be related to the cloud storage.
    Open your Origin client, click on “Show Game Details”. Then you go to the cloud button on BF3 and uncheck the “enable cloud storage for all games” box. Launch the game.
    If that helped, you can try to enable the cloud storage after a restart; it might work after with the cloud storage function. Make sure to use the local data when the information box popping up.

    Update your Network Integration Card (NIC): 

    1. Start -> Computer -> System Properties -> Device Manager 
    2. Locate your NIC card under Network Adapters 
    3. Right-Click and Select "Update Driver Software. 
    4. Walk through the prompts (typically "Next" -> "Install the software automatically" -> "Next") 
    5. Reboot may be required after successful update.

    I hope this workaround can help to resolve your problem. If not, please let us now!

    Cheers

    Hello there problem still exists. I tried the following:

    Physx driver was updated automaticily with the latest nvidia graphics driver.
     There is no beta driver out yet for the 500 series.

    Done the custom video card settings again nothing.

    Tried the origin thing with the local data and made it worse.

    dont need to update NIC since I use a wireless adapter and i still updated both which were up to sate already.

    Going to try the low setting as you said and see what happens.

    Also want to mention I use teamspeak when i play with friends could that have something to do with it? if yes how can i fix it?

    Thanks for all the suggestions but none worked so far just going to try the low graphics one now in the meanwhile can you tell me what else to try?
