JameeBranson Does this happen if you try to play immediately after restarting your computer, with nothing else open? Please try it and let me know.
Please also restart your computer, wait five minutes without opening anything, and open the Task Manager and let me know how much RAM is in use. I'd like the percentage shown in the Memory header. Then click the Startup tab and post a screenshot (use Windows key-shift-S) of the list of startup apps. It may help to disable some of these at startup, but I'd like to see the list before suggesting you just disable anything that looks unnecessary or suspicious.
Finally, I'd like to see a dxdiag as well. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
