BF3 crashes
BF3 window disappears
BF3 quits
BF3.exe quit
VIDEO_TDR_ERROR
All the top three are the same, your playing and all of a sudden your BF3 windows just goes away.
I can fix this for you, just send $300 (U.S.) to.... :}
The above is because your OS ask your video card how things are going, Yet BF3 keeps
the video card too busy for it to reply in time so the OS shuts the problem down (BF3).
A registry entry can be added to stop this behavior, go here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\GraphicsDrivers
add the REG_DWORD TdrLevel to 0 (disable it).
BF3 won't be crashing anymore for you, at least it fixed my problems long ago.
Site I found this fix (one time BF3 left a DMP file):
Can't post a link so will keep the source to myself

flicking so it's custom, most are ultra, some different. FPS > 60, vert sync disabled.
