Hmm, you have a better computer than me in general except for the graphics card (I have a nVidia GeForce GTX 360 ti) but I can run my copy on very good settings

[BrokenLantern]

Damn, this is confusing. I've tried virus scans, defragging, used cc cleaner many times. Bah, this sucks. Can the GFX card be cause this to happen?

[Mhaedros]

It's either that, or you have something wrong with the game. Have you reinstalled?

[BrokenLantern]

I am reinstalling for the fourth time.

[Mhaedros]

Then I'd try with a different graphics card. How much unused space do you have on your computer BTW?

[BrokenLantern]

140GB of 455GB. The computer is pretty new but I full hard drives with so quickly.

[Mhaedros]

In that case I can't think of anything else than to get a new graphics card

[BrokenLantern]

Damn. I really hoped I wouldn't need to buy anything. I guess I'll trouble shoot for a bit longer then see what I can find online. Thanks for your help. +Rep
