Hey everyone,

Let us start from beginning:

First days of F4 i really enjoyed playing it, in 1 week i had a playtime of 50 hours.

But one day i noticed a bug.

It starts with a sound cut, not footsteps, no voice, no shoots, nothing.

After that the game freeze for about 1 min and more.

Few days later i noticed the same bug in several games like Guild Wars 2.

I tried everything to fix that until i find out that it was my HDD causing this bugs.





In January i bought a SSD and reinstall everything, the bug fade away, exept for fallout.

Ive installed it last sunday the first time on my new disk and after a few minutes wandering through the commonwealth,

my old fiend the "Crazy 30sec to over 1 min freeze after sound stop working"-Bug started again, lets make it easier.

I call him Frank.





So i started to research for solutions to kill Frank, last year i hasnt found a lot about it, but now i did.

I found a lot threads about Frank in several forums, the most worked solution was "Deactivate Avast", but i dont and i never used avast at home.

I searched about 10 hours yesterday for a solution and tried nearly everything.





I tried to check what happens to my GPU at the freeze time with Afterburner

and noticed that this bug appears at this point where the usage reach the 100% and then drops instantly to 0% until the game starts to work again.

Maybe its overheated but 62° isnt that much.

I thought maybe its my GPU which is broken and started the benchmark FurMark but the usage was at 100% but it wont freeze,

it seems for me that F4 just stops sending data to my computer.
