SimCity keeps freezing (NOT BSOD or windows error)???

I get almost the same problems though my sounds keep working and i can CTR ALT Delete to get out of it but it's driving me crasy i played fine yesterday and even just some hours ago now this keeps happening.

Oh another thing im playing on server EU east 2 just for more information

I'm also playing on EU servers, EU West 4

I have over 70 hours according to Origin. I never had any problems with crashing or freezing.

Then just now, I had three freezes in a row. The mouse cursor stopped moving. no keys were responding, not even escape.

Alt-Ctrl-Del worked, it it said SimCity was not responding, so I had to force close it.

So I restarted the game and went to the same city and it froze again in only a few minutes.

I rebooted my computer then and tried again.

Same thing freeze a few minutes into loading up my city and doing stuff.

The thing I was working around was a trade port. I deleted some plastic storage to make room for freight storage, and it crashed the second two times then. the first time it crashed, I hadn't done that yet. I just clicked on a car to see where it was going, but the car had just come from the trade port.

I'm going to try another city to make see if its my computer or the game, or maybe just something corrupted on that city.

Just froze again, this time tho I was able to CTRL ALT DEL and I had the 'SimCity has stopped working' error!?

This is exactly what happens to me

After all the BS that was gone through to give this game a proper chance, e.g.: Full servers, down servers, 3 hour queues, "City won't load", Server disconnected, broken region sharing, broken resources (recycling, water, tourism, schoos), spectator only bugs, server lock out and more; now I am freezing thirty seconds in after loading my city. This game is unplayable. If I were able to get past all of that I'd still have a list of broken things in this game a mile long, but I'm willing to deal with them if I could just #*@#& play! 

EA/Maxis, you've made a mess of this and mislead and abused your customer base. Thanks for the worst launch in gaming history. You get the blue ribbon. 

Same here.  Started happening recently (past 24 hours), and has been worsening steadily.  I can't play at all now.

What worked for me was to limit the game to running on two cores. In the task manager, right-click the SimCity process, Set Affinity, and then untick all but two cores.
