I have the same problem.
My first OS was WinXP PRO
Because it is old I upgraded to Win7Ultimate
When I upgraded to Win7, after one week I were playing BFH (Battlefield Heroes).
I play the game at it's default settings (medium details 1024*768)
Then after 10 minutes of playing my PC restarted.
After this I opened the Action center to see what's the problem and it says that this restart wasn a ''Video Hardware Error''
Then I upgraded to Win8Enterprise with the hope that error will dissapear.
I fully reformated my HardDisk losing all my data.
After this I installed the game and start playing with the same details.
The error still remains on my system and I don't know what to do.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME !!!
Graphic Card:
