And i figured out that it has nothing to do with my graphics card and that the issue is with steam somehow, i ran it once in offline mode, it worked, i would run it in online mode, and the game freezes when the LEFT MOUSE skip button pops up in the startup sequence, i verified game cache numerous times alread, copied the config mp and renamed it config, all the standard fixes i could think of, but i also have this issue with call of duty modern warfare 3, freezes during startup sequence when steam is online. and do i need steam to connect to multiplayer with these games? please halp!!!

So i ran a full system scan via avast, and i got some threats found, managed to clean my system up, no change, black ops 1 still only works in offline mode and freezes on startup sequence in online mode on steam, i havent payed much attention to mw3 but i know im having similar issues with that game aswell. halpppp :(

sorry for late reply. But I really do think it is bios. Had same problem with Xcom and saints row 3. I can try to help you find the driver for it. Is your pc a custom build or a prebuilt. If prebuilt can you give me the manufacturer and the model number(should be on case somewhere). Thanks
