Hi 8FS_austin,

I mean the software, running at the time when this incident happens. It might be a program or just a device driver for your graphics card.
Normally when you shut down Windows - it will write data from your RAM onto your HDD and it will close every program and then turn off.

Mh, when you're playing on-line - you're only using Battlefield, right?
When your PC freeze - what exactly happens then? Anything at all?
How long do you wait until you boot your PC again? Give it time - even 10 min...
Next time start your Task-Manager before you start playing and have a look at the processes from time to time...
Before you start playing, close every program and software you know and you don't need - except your Internet Security!
Your Internet connection - is it normally reliable or do you have problems, like interruptions?
Your Windows is up to date? Defrag your HDD!
I'm quite sure its not the fault of your HDD!
Have patience and give your PC always time!
I'm sorry that I have not a solution for you or even an idea... I would prefer to sit next to the PC.
Normally they just give up and start to behave proper! :lol:
