I know there are other posts about DirectX, but I haven't found one recently, and using the search bar for directx crashes. 

Using a template from a bug report forum for BF3:

Issue: Crash to Desktop (CTD)
Platform: PC
Map: South China Sea 
Mode: Campaign
Description: Right after fighting through to the doors of the med-bay after getting onto the Valkyrie I get a CTD with this message after trying to activate the door.

" DirectX Error:
DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is a design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed."). GPU: "AMD Radeon HD 6900 series", Driver: 13.9 (13.152-230830a-163178C-ATI) "

Has happened twice now in the same spot. I will try and update my GFX drivers to the beta version and see if that helps. 

As a side note, i've read on this forum from a helper/hero/com. manager that EA doesn't read these forum posts, yet here: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2955065670118762490/last/ it says to post in these forums for technical issues, which I kind of get, but how would EA know of the bugs/glitches/crashes or other random problems with a game if they don't read this forum while directing users to this forum for tech. issues? I find it kind of defeating the purpose if they'll never read the posts which would allow them to push a fix in a patch.

There are more respondents active on the AHQ forums than there are on Battlelog, but it is Battelelog, where the DICE people are watching for thngs they will try fixing.  Only EA Help provides official support. 

AHQ is Self-Help, gamer to gamer.  Not official, and no obvious oversight by DICE (I have never seen a single instance here indicating the presence of any DICE personnel visiting here).  Have you run any Search of your question in here?  I'm pretty sure it's been answered already.
