Right let me run you guys through the processes that i have tried to alleviate the issue so far:
disabled the page file
disabled the onboard sound card
reinstalled dx11 manually
reinstalled graphics drivers (and updated all of the chipset drivers etc)
changed from dx11 to dx10 via config file
changed from dx10 to dx9 via config file
lowered graphics settings in game
I have even underclocked the GPU from factory clock speed as I have experienced the same issue with another PC running an overclocked card
got an error message at some point saying that the gpu driver had stopped responding, so createda new registry entry to allow the gpu 5 seconds of "inactivity" before windows attempts to recover the gpu.
all of the components in the case are very cool (aftermarket coolers on CPU and frozr II cooler on GPU) plus alot of case fans.
system specs are as follows.
intel core 2 quad 2.4
4gb ddr2
nvidia gtx560ti
Any other suggestions would be welcomed !
