PvZ Freezes when joining 2 out of 3 games - works perfect when it works
The game freezes on me, some times on the very first start up screen (daisy stops spinning) but most of the time its just as I'm joining a game, but before I can chose a character. Screen freezes, no error messages. If I wait long enough it usually boots me back to the PvZ start up screen saying I've been disconnected from EA servers.
1 in 3 times (or so) I can join a game and it plays perfectly. I've never joined two games in a row / stayed in a game for more than one round.
Tried clean boot.
Tried running as admin.
Cant find any error messages. Some times I just kill it with task manager

HP's I think often will "block" generic intel drivers and you want you to use HP's several year old ones... If the exe refuses to install because of an error like "Must use manufacture drivers".
Try uninstalling current Intel HD Drivers from Control Panel.
Restart
Try installing the EXE again.

If that fails... then you'll need to FORCE them on with the ZIP method (download the zip package instead of the exe first)
