So I just downloaded Black Ops 1 from the steam marketplace over black friday. I finally got around to installing it, and when I tried to open it, it showed a black screen with the spinning blue wheel of "nope, not happening", and then my Teamspeak mic stopped working, but I could still hear all of my friends. Can anyone explain what is going on?

My computer completely locks up on me, but I can still force quit the program. However, even after force-quitting, my mic still won't work and the computer won't shut down unless I hold the power button. Any help is appreciated as this has happened with many other games before.

Also, I've tried "Varifying the Cache" and uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Not a clue what is going on.

I have an AMD FX 8350, a Radeon 2GB 7850 (That I will be upgrading to a GTX 1060), 16GB of Ram. And my system appears to be running fine. No overheating or anything. Its just locking up for an unknown reason. And I do have my GPU slightly overclocked.

Haven't tried removing the OC. I'll check when I get home and see if that solves anything. Thank you for your help so far. The weird thing is, all of my other games run perfectly normal. Black ops is the only game that is not working.
