Game freezes after 2- 5 seconds (in main menu)

Hi, Unfortunately, I can't play SWBF. The game constantly freezes as soon as I enter the main menu (after the "Hit Enter to Start" Screen). My overall CPU workload climbs up to 98%, too. First...

    Okay, I could fix this problem, by installing the latest AMD drivers (15.9.1), shutting the computer down (not just reboot!), and then turning it on again.

    I can now play the game, although the problem, that CPU usage gets as high as 99%-100% still persists. In my task manager, a DsmUserTask.exe process is spawned roughly every second! If i kill them all, they come up again.

    I could fix the problem, by killing the svchost.exe with the Process ID, that started the DsmUserTask.exe processes.

    By running taskkill /F /IM DsmUserTask.exe /T you can kill al the DsmUserTasks.exe. It also shows you the Process ID of the Task that started those. In your task manager go to the details-tab, sort by PID, and search for the task with the corresponding PID - should be a svchost.exe task. Just kill it and you shoud be fine. CPU usage immediately went down to normal values.

      I have the same issue anytime I change menus. I get huge cpu usage up to 100% where my whole computer will lock up. Then if I some how make it into the game everything runs fine. No lag decent fps. But as soon as the match ends and it goes to add up the score 100% cpu usage again. Happens in single player and multiplayer and just getting to the start menu of the game. On the walker assault map when I hit join match. I get to see through the mountains while the screen is froze. While I sit there saying to my self please let me in please let me in. Only to see the HD at- st picture and "game session is no longer available" :/.  I have tried amd's beta drivers, reinstalling origin, checking to see if all 4 cores where unparked,  tired closing everything that I could think to close.   

      System specs: 

      Intel i5-4690k

      gigabyte r9 270x

      8 gb of ram

      win 7

      Also wanted to add if you go the starwarsbattlefront reddit. (not sure if can link) Under the stickied Report all beta bugs/issues here thread.  There is a bunch of people with the same issue also listing there specs.
