hey its me again!
this time with more complex problems...
while i was playing driver parallel lines, at the beginning where you have to speed away.
as soon as i went into the big park space the game froze...
after a few seconds it loaded and continued gameplay.
a few seconds later it froze again, never to load progress again!
here is a snapshot of the hardware usage and temps
