Black screen and frozen computer on load.

Hello mystic303, could you help us at helping you by providing us more information about your hardware?

I agree with above, can you please attach a dxdiag? Thanks.

op post your pc specs in here also you can try this:

Black Screen ? This is a DirectX11 problem, turn it off, and you will be able to play again.

1) Create a text file inside your BF3 dir user.txt and type RenderDevice.Dx11Enable off
2) Close it
3) Rename it to user.cfg

No more black screen bug between maps.

or

do not know if it works, is an old fix. saw in the forum somewhere
if you make for it at your own risk

Stuck on Joining Server / Long map load times:

also found this:

FYI - Possible Fix for some with 64-bit Win7 and new BF3 Patch***

My brother recently downloaded the patch and he would play perfectly fine before, and now it freezes every time he tried to load a game (loading black screen) then takes him back to the battlelog.

FIX:

I just disabled UPnP in the setting for his router and it worked immediately after that.

So for those with mostly Linksys routers.
Open up your internet browser
type 192.168.1.1

username: (default username is left blank)
password: (default pw is admin)

Administration tab> Disable UPnP
Save.

Done. Let me know if this works for some.

Hey,

Thanks for being interested, Cant work out how to attach the dxiag file, and it is too big to copy in.

PC specs are.

3930k cpu, not over clocked.

6870x2 dual gpu card.

8gb ram..

rampage Iv

90gb ssd, windows and origin are instaled.

no dedicated sound card.

drivers up to date. just checked again.

deleted, nothing for n00beris to plagiarise

Ok, fist as in the above post, dual gpu single pcb card. Not two cards.

Serious?? u think it is an issue with my card. wow, I have over 100 hours in the game, same specs the whole way.

Should I use a hack saw or angle grinder to remove the seconnd GPU off the pcb.

WHO USES IE9, SERIOUS, LIKE WHO!!!!!!!!!!

yea, no, IF my cpu cant run this game, well then there would be about 0.5% of current numebrs playing. Adn do you even know what turbo mode is??

passive overclocking is load reaaches over about 80%.

/edit by admin: Please do not use offensive language

deleted, nothing for n00beris to plagiarise

Ok, Firstly, all the required info was given above, clearly staded dual gpu card. ******* My cpu is stock at 3.2ghz, Why would I overclock it to 4ghz, which is above the turbo max.

*******

hey try what i wrote in above dont pay attention to users that makes fun from you, you not deserved that, concentrate on those users who really would like to help you and those that not going to make laugh from your problems or your lack of technical knowledge

Hi guys!

EAHQ is a board where players helping each other with technical and other game issues. Even if we understand, that issues and the process of finding solutions by trying various workarounds might be frustrating, please stay calm and don't use offensive or rude language or complaining about the support-team.
Finding solutions is often gone through various steps of basic troubleshooting. And there are a lot of cases, where such basics things helped, even if a lot of us are like self-made experts over years playing on PC's, we all remember a lot of moments where we wanted to hit ourselves because we didn't checked some basic stuff.

I hope that the effort of the community can help to solve your technical issues mystic303!

Cheers
