I also downloaded this video of Battlefield 3 running on 120hz and when I ran the video it started on 60fps but then after pausing and starting again and waiting a bit it went 120... Is that something I should be worried about or is it normal?

That's a browser performance issue, not a problem with the refresh rate. Browser performance has never been reliable, and many things can affect the frame rate. Try using Chrome if you're not already. Chrome seems to be the most reliable with frame rates. Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled in the browser settings. If you have Windows 7, make sure desktop composition is enabled by using one of the Aero themes, not Basic or Classic. If you have multiple monitors connected, that can affect the frame rate synchronization.

I tried CRU, I deleted every other resolution there and set the only detailed resolution to 1920x1080 144hz. I restarted windows and screen wouldn't come up. had to connect monitor with HDMI and use CRU's restart thing. What did I do wrong?

Use "LCD reduced" timing for 144 Hz. The pixel clock cannot exceed 330 MHz with dual-link DVI unless you use the driver patch.
