    Killing floor and black ops both freeze on me and I had to force restart. The monitor all gets messed up with different colored lines and such and theres nothing i can do but force shut down. I haven't had this problem in aion or bad company 2 so far, I need to do more testing but. I have ao9 bios, and the latest drivers on the dell website for my 4870'sx2
