    I think the BIOS update did it. I Downloaded the last ASUS bios from their website and I've been playing for 15minutes now without any issues.

    Ill keep playing a while more and see if the stability continues.

    BTW: Using Windows 10, updated.

    Thanks for everything! Keep you posted.

Havent got any profiles set that I know of. Currenly running on background logitech gaming for keyboard and mouse, tuneup, icloud services, avira, samsung magician for SSD drive and dropbox.

The error is basically a grey screen and the system becomes irresponsive, only rebootable by reset button on the cpu case. (Something like this)

the CPU is a Corsair VS650 650W.

Tried playing fullscreen, windowed borderless and windowed, all cases with same result.

Thanks for the concern

I'm honestly clueless as to what could be causing this then. Unless you have a REALLY specific hardware failure that only battlefront can bring out.

My MSI R9-270X 2G Card was running perfectly on my corsair VS450 power supply when I gave it a quick match in Battlefront at ultra+TAA 1600x900  earlier.

Allow me to get you a screenshot of my Crimson settings so you can copy them to your own. ( I will have to do this tomorrow GMT+2 as I have left this gaming box of mine at the office.)

Until then, I suggest, if your card has the dual-bios switch (as mine does), try turn off your pc, flip the switch on your GPU, then boot up and try to play on the secondary bios.

The only other thing I can think of right now is to check what happens in windows event viewer at the time your computer crashes.

EDIT:

 I do so many of these forums for GPU help, I forget what I've asked you.

Could you please download FURMARK and run a GPU stress test (not a benchmark) and let it run for 10 or so minutes.

(fullscreen, 8x MSAA, whatever your native resolution is)

Could you then tell us what your maximum temperature was when running this?

Just realized this could be an overheat if it dies like this after 20 minutes of gaming.

    Downloading FUMARK and will pass the stress test as soon as it finishes. I will post the results in a while. 

    The game crashes sometimes after 15minutes, sometimes (like 30 minutes ago) after just 5 minutes of playing.

    I've though about updating the GPUs BIOS, any thoughts?

      I've never had to do a GPU bios/rom update (with the one exception of when I flashed my 6950 to think it was a 6970)

      If it's a hardware failure Furmark should pick it up if you leave it running with your GPU at 100% usage.

      Just keep an eye on the temps. (depending on your brand of 270X) My MSI 270X gets to a highest temperature of about 72 inside a case that is smaller than the card itself. (don't ask)

      What brand of 270X do you have?

      Anything over 85 degrees celcius could potentialy be a problem.
