Modern Warfare Campaign Crash

Hey all,

Im having a problem on MW during the campaign on the mission: "Embedded". It happens about 14 minutes into this playthrough:

Basically it just locks up completely when i see the helicopter, then nothing & it just shuts the game own completely.

I then have to restart the game & it gives me the option to start in safe mode. I cannot get past this section of the game, it's very frustrating. Anyone have any ideas?

Spec wise I am on:

i5 6600k
Geforce 1080
16Gb ram
Samsung 970 Plus 500Gb M2 SSD

Have tried with new drivers on everything & everything is fully updated, so I am really at a loss as to what else to try :/

Cheers

Hey - yes i do it’s oc’d to 4.2ghz

temps are 66c max & its prime95 stable.
I did the oc years ago & have had no stablity issues.
Also this crash will happen if ive been running the game for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. It’s like something loads when i see the copter that triggers a crash :/

Cool thanks - I'll try the stock check first then also some of the online fixes re. 100% CPU load!

What a joke - it's barely finished!

There's clearly an error in the code / programming. This isn't really that CPU intensive a game & no games really need more than an i5 - seems this problem is across the board & includes high end latest gen I7's:

tried some more tweaks - nothing.

Turned off the OC; nothing.

Even bought another 16Gb RAM - nothing.
