Hello,

I have an Alienware M17 R1 with a
Q9000 Quad core
4GB Ram
Win 7 Ultimate x64
3870 x2

I know the quads had issues but I have to say, A lot of work has been done to this computer to prevent the freezing and stutter issues from the quad core. I have now been experiencing an odd issue and I cannot figure out why.

I can run ANY game for hours and its not a problem. No stutter, no freeze. But if I close out of the game and then restart the game. BAM black screen and freezes before anything else with a "thinking" circle in the middle (you know the windows 7 thinking circle")

Then I must of course restart the computer. This is not lag or stutter as I have even tried doing this with music running and the music will freeze as well.

Any help will be appreciated
