Battlefield Bad Company 2 Blue screens, any help? - Arjahn - 08-20-2013

I'm still waiting for a response from a bunch of other support forums, but whenever I start playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 on my PC, it crashes after a few minutes of play and gives me a blue screen of death. I never have any of these problems with any other high end games, it's just this one. Can anyone help me out?

BC2 was on pc?

Is it on steam? If so, you could verify it to see. Do you know any correlation between each blue screen? Any certain map or weapon?

Yeah it's on steam, verifying the integrity of game cache right now. It always happens right when I get into a multiplayer match.

Might be an issue with your graphics card if that doesn't fix it. Check to see if it needs an update.

Most likely, it's a video card driver issue. Try to grab a picture of the blue screen and post it here. I'll need the error code to help further.

Here's the debug analysis I could find for it.

Yeah, that's definitely a graphics driver problem. I'd completely uninstall any video card related software you have (most likely a single entry in Add/Remove Programs but check for others), restart, and then head to your manufacturer's website and download the most current version.

Ok, I uninstalled the driver software and reinstalled in manually from the website, going to try again now. Thanks a million for taking the time to help me out Petie.
Update: No dice. Still blue screening twenty seconds in, here's what I got out of analyzing the minidump:

Well since you have the latest graphics driver now, it seems like the next thing that needs to be done is to make sure DirectX is up to date. This should be possible via Windows Update and while you're there, make sure you install any other pending updates if you haven't already. If you have though, I'll need to do a bit more digging.
