i have been trying to fix this issue since i bought the game 6 hours ago and i havent found a clear solution to the problem. the game install was effortless and the updates and other special pre order codes are working fine. but every time i get past the intro cut scenes and i am able to control my character the game freezes up and locks up my computer. i have looked this issue up on multiple forums and came up with nothing. if anyone knows anything that might help me, please let me know.

my computer specs:
asus m5a99fx pro r2.0 motherboard
AMD fx 8150 8 core @ 3.6
16gb corsair vengeance ram @ 1600
geforce gtx 660 ti 2gb sc
ocz vertex 3 120gb ssd - for my os and other computer applications
wd black 1tb 7200rpm - for my games
