    I need help friends. I have a M18x with 7970m Xfire which can run Arkham City fine although I want to play on DX9 mode since DX11 is not stable. I also have all the DLC including Harley Quinn DLC.Now here is the problem.

    When I play Arkham City on DX9, when I play for 5 to 30 minutes, it freezes and the sound is playing then after, it black screens on me while the music is playing. I can't task manager and I have to restart the computer.

    I reinstalled the game again and still having the same issues. I use the CAP 12.7 beta drivers by the way and I tried switching different drivers but alas, it shows the same results.

    I need help, my friends. What should i DO?

    Are your video cards overheating?

    My temps are normal. If I play dx11, it won't freeze but if I play dx9, it freezes.

    Why????
