Freezing.

If you're going to reinstall Windows only for this, don't, i don't think it would help.

It was either that, or using the restore cd. Lately other games have been refusing to start up. Have to do it about 3 times.

LFD2 and Fallout so far. I fire them up and it says windows ran into a problem and has to close.

The weird thing is after I get in game in all of them, (after about 50 or so hours total so far on the new rig) I have not had one slow down or ctd in any games. The exception of Theatre of War 3 not working at all.

CPU temps are perfect, drivers up to date,unistalled and re-installed and other misc programs work better than ever. It's a weird combo.

You said that ToW worked fine at first; do you remember what settings you changed after that?

Yes sir. I was rehashen all day today.

I finally got it to work. Just got 5 full games in with no freezing, max graphics, and silky smooth framerates.

I uninstalled "Bitdefender" that I switched too this week, after having Kaspersky for awhile.

I also had enabled "Game Mode" and added "Steam" and "Theatre of War" to the exclusions list and also disabled it. (It seems it was still doing something after all of that.)

So I said to myself, this has to go, it's one of the last changes I made in my list, and so far so good.

I want to thank you Sneaksie for grinding it out with me, and teaching me a couple of things. Thanks man.
