[PC] Ongoing investigation - poor performance, crashes, resource allocation.

Well, I thought I would join in the conversation and post the issue I have been experiencing (much like a billion others).

So this is a chronological order of issue, what I did, etc...

1: Installed the game Tuesday.  Played a lot that day (very addictive), no issue, worked great.

2: Wednesday: Played most the day again, no issues.  Around 9 pm, started getting a tiny bit of lag.  Decided to do a fresh reboot.  Noticed windows had some updates at restart.  Updates installed, machine reboots. 

3: After reboot, launch game.  MASSIVE lag.  I load into Redcliffe, and I cannot move.  Every 15-30 seconds there's movement, then freeze/lag.  I can move the mouse cursor and tab etc... just fine however.  Dragon Age is using %100 CPU.

4: After trying a lot of graphic fiddling I decide to play some Counter Strike Global Offensive with some people to take some of the frustration out.  While playing CS:GO, for the first time ever I am getting 20-100 FPS.  It's going up and dropping.  Bad chop during game play.  So my first thought is that it's Windows update since this all began after that.  System restore time.

5: Run system restore.  Dragon Age: Same issues.

6: Delete Dragon Age completely (registry and all).  Reinstall game.

7: Launch game, menu chop (face turning red).  I tab out, open task manager, notice svhost.exe is using %50 CPU, close it.  Game runs perfectly.

8: Took advantage of smooth gameplay, finished missions, sidequests.  Now at Skyhold and it's late, so I shut it down.

9: Today (Friday). Turn on computer, launch game.  The lag begins once again.  Tab, Task manager, game is using %100 cpu again (30-60 at the menu).

I may reinstall again and see if that works (like last time).  And if it does, I may never shut the damn game down till it's complete.
