All games crash unless I set affinity - 2 cores
Starcraft 2, Company of Heroes and now it looks like Dragon Age 2 as well.
Basically, every game crashes unless I set affinity to 2 cores, the crashes actually look like graphics crashes but it is always fixed by setting affinity to 2 cores, the graphics will go weird often accompanied by horrible noises from the speakers too.
I can maybe understand the affinity-fix with older games like Dragon Age Origins and CoH, but SC2 and DA2 are pretty new.
Only using 2 cores in DA2 is a pretty big performance hit and a waste of the cpu so that particularly annoys me.
Has anyone ever heard or experienced this? Any ideas what is going on?
