If your computer runs out of RAM when you’re playing a game, your system will dip into virtual memory to save files temporarily. If the size of your virtual memory is not big enough to save temporary files, it may cause your computer to freeze.
Why is my new PC freezing?
Why does my computer keep freezing? Typically, it will be a software-related issue or your computer has too many programs operating at any once, causing it to freeze. Additional issues such as insufficient hard-disk space or ‘driver’-related issues also can cause a computer to freeze.
Why does my screen freeze when I open steam?
UPDATE: Problem appears to be related to the Steam overlay somehow. Running the game directly from the .exe solves the freezing issue completely. But I can open and see the overlay fine before the freeze happens via Steam. Weird. Windows 8 compat mode and Admin make no difference. Thanks for the update.

Why does my game freeze after a minute?
It seems I can sit in menus forever, but actual gameplay will trigger the freeze well before a minute has passed. Probably tried a few other things, got a little frustrating and quit for a while. Vsync seems to work sometimes and not so well at other times.
What should I do if my screen freezes?
Tried with vsync on and off. Tried with all settings maxed and minimized. I’ve tried running at 2560 x 1440 and 1920 x 1080, though I haven’t tried lower yet. I’ve tried standing still, going to the upgrade machine, going down to a mission, etc.
