Game freezes after starting

[kenoxite]

Yes, I always have Notebook Hardware Control on, and I always notch the CPU clock down to 75% while playing games. It would overheat beyond playability otherwise.

This machine (ASUS M6V) has been my main for a couple years now, and I use it extensively both for work and pleasure (yep, gaming). This is the first game that makes my graphic card collapse in pain, so while overheating might be the problem is a problem only caused by Amnesia. I haven't had this kind of problems with any game so far. Being an avid gamer you can guess that the amount of games played with this notebook can be counted in the hundreds, from low resource hungry indies to major AAA games (any game below shader 3.0).

And BTW, the game runs at a stable 80-85ºC for the most part, which is the usual temperature I reach when gaming. The CPU uses to be at around 70-75ºC when idling. There hasn't been any particular heat spike when the freezes happened. Not that I noticed.
