I have an issue where BFBC2 crashed me to my desktop.
I have 2 gtx 460s and i7 970 4 gbs of ram. I think it is too little ram but am new to the whole three monitors thing anyone have any ideas.

I have only 4GB of RAM that should not be the issue. Its probably driver or SLI related issues.

It used to crash a ton for AMD users until newer drivers fixed things up.

There is another thread on this on this same website. Search it up. Its a problem with the game itself and DICE knows about it and is going to release a patch to fix it. I can hardly play the damn game it crashes so much. Vietnam, however, runs like a dream.

I've had the occasional CTD too. My page file was set to a max of 4gb, so I bumped it up to 8gb. Also I close a few things when playing like Firefox, to free up more memory. Much fewer CTD's now (perhaps none since).

BC2 also crashes my system quite frequently, although randomly. Sometimes I can play for 5minutes, other times almost an hour.

As slinky says though, Vietnam seems to run perfectly. I got through 2 hours the other night without a hiccup :?

This is exactly the same experience im getting. I can play BC2 for an hour at times and then at other times it will crash within 2 minutes. Ive had vietnam for about a week and i have had 1 crash. I like vietnam but I wanna be able to play BC2 as well

No crashes since bumping my pagefile up to 8gb. Played about 4 hours today without a hitch.

The other thing to check is tab out after playing for half an hour and check your GPU and CPU temps.

I have found my issue to be RAM. I had a faulty stick with a good stick. I had 4GBs in Temp when i took one of them out i ran it all high on three monitors with 2gb in and no problems
