Something caused issues with my games

[Joserin]

Hello

 

I'll try to explain the scenario

The Division went on sale over the weekend and I decided to buy it. While downloading it I thought I'd update my drivers as well so I fired up MSI Live Update.

I'd always avoided installing RAMDisk because I didn't feel the need for it but that day I selected it for install anyway, along with the Gaming App and Smart Tool

Having updated the programs I decided to go to sleep since The Division needed another 3 hours to download.

 

When I woke up the PC was in the Sign-in screen which I assume was caused because of Windows Update restarting my computer outside "active hours"

The Division was only half downloaded so I waited another hour for it to finish up and restarted the PC.

While playing The Division my mouse and keyboard started showing anomalous behavior where when moving the mouse sometimes it wouldn't move as far as I moved it. It started annoying me but I thought it might be optimization issues cause I read that Division had problems with LED keyboards and Mouse

So I thought of playing a game of Overwatch but even in there the mouse wasn't moving as far and sometimes keystrokes wouldn't register.

Frustrated I restarted the PC again.

 

It showed thew same problems. Restarted again.

 

And voila the mouse and keyboard started working fine again.

But another problem arose because - Why not?

When you finish a game of Overwatch there's a Play of the Game clip, whenever I would be about to transition into that the game would freeze for 5-10 seconds.

Same freezing happened when I exit the score screen to the Main Menu, and today when the Death cam shows up.

I restarted the PC again.

 

This time the Death cams worked fine but it froze again on PotG and Main Menu.

Next game it started freezing on Death cam too.

So I tried restarting the game alone.

Wouldn't start. Not even after trying numerous solutions found on Google for the search "Overwatch won't launch"

Restarted PC again

 

Overwatch loads up and game starts. Now it starts freezing on almost any transition. Loading into a game, checking someone's profile and going back into the game, death, main menu, PotG, score screen...

I'm tired of dealing with it now, is there anything that could be contributing towards these issues?

I suspect it's RAMDisk but I cannot be sure.

 

P.S - I've uninstalled RAMDisk, Smart Tool and the MSI Gaming App

I'll include DxDiag in case it comes in handy

 

EDIT - I've also tried fully uninstalling the Blizzard App and Overwatch and downloading it fresh. Still doesn't help.

Update - I've reinstalled Windows and that has fixed some of my problems, except Overwatch.

Blizzard Support said it's a known issue where the game freezes and they're "working on it"
