    Hello everyone.

    Battlefield 3 continually crashes for me after I take 3 steps forward on multi-player (Every time without fail).

    Sometimes the games just crashes with no error given.
    Other times it has crashes due to a Direct X error (Not enough Video Memory)
    I have adjusted the settings from high to low but to no avail.

    I have tired both the latest Beta Drivers as well as the latest WHQL certified.
    I have also white-listed optimus so that my GPU (3000m) is set to run upon BF3.exe.

    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    How do I amend it?

    Dx error.

    Assuming u did successful clean reinstall of the driver, ur best bet is to reinstall the game.

    Try changing the CPU Affinity to only the first core

    BF3 runs flawlessly on my 4000m with the latest Verde 290.53 drivers. Have you tried it with Optimus disabled?
