Yes, a little overdone at the top. I currently am running on 100% caffeine! Aha!

Okay.

Whenever I launch a game, say through a game client (e.g. Steam, Origin, etc.) or even on a standalone launcher (e.g. Starcraft II, Diablo III), my system will either run through a few intro videos without any hiccups before completely freezing (i.e. no input response whatsoever), or it will freeze up almost seconds after the initial launch. Adding to this.. One weird thing I noticed today: I found that when I launched Battlefield 3 on EA's new browser setup I can only prevent my computer from freezing when I deselect the option "go to game when ready".

Occasionally it works. Today I was able to play and finish the Mass Effect 3 demo. Everything ran smooth; frame rates were at 50+ the entire time running at 1080p with nothing really out of the ordinary. Then I tried Crysis 2. Game updates..runs. Installed hi-res text pack..runs. DX11 high tessellation pack..runs. Crysis 2 relaunches, runs for maybe 5min., then the system completely freezes. I reboot, try other games through Steam (after validating game integrity and de-fragmenting game cache files), Origin (same process as steam but through EA's recommended steps), and Starcraft II, Diablo III etc. Same issue as before (freezing). Maybe progressively worse at times:?:


Here's what I have done to try and fix my problem(s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Complete system wipe (clean format); after failed attempts with driver re-installations on top of HDD RMA and Motherboard RMA.
- All driver software is up-to-date and functioning properly. (Supposedly)
- Hardware is running properly. (Supposedly)
- Virus, malware, etc. comes out clean. Nothing detected.

Well, I would really love and appreciate any help this community has to offer so generously. I know I will learn a lot here, along with a few cool tricks!

Thank you!,
LeoAtum

P.S. If it helps, I will send you the .txt or .doc file containing my system specifications due to the forum site not allowing these file extensions to be uploaded to my post. Thank you again!

Hello, LeoAtum! Welcome to the forums! Can you please give us some system specifications on this particular rig so we can help you? What you have done to resolve the issue thus far is important, but system specs are infinitely more helpful to us in the way of information for helping you troubleshoot your issue. Thank you.

Thank you for the prompt reply!

Since I cannot upload the files, I will simply paste the information in text format below. It's quite the list, so I apologize in advance..

I am open to IDEAS, I know open collaboration is key, I will be prompt and update all my findings as the events arise! Again (again), thank you!

One thing that jumps out at me is that you're running 6GB RAM on 3 DIMMS. That's a no-no on AMD systems. They have DUAL channel memory controllers and don't like odd numbers of DIMMs. With the price of RAM these days, I would urge you to get another 2GB DIMM to make 8GB.
