Hum, no responses to this.&nbsp; Not good.&nbsp; I've quit playing the game.&nbsp; If you can fix this thing maybe I will return.&nbsp; This is horrible.

Is the card overclocked, even with a stock overclock? If so, turn it down.&nbsp;
On DX, do you get a message&nbsp;when you crash?If you haven't done so already run a repair on the game client. You can get this option by right-clicking the game in Origin.&nbsp;
