This sounds like a problem I had years ago running the platinum client on a different computer. It was something about the client not telling the processor to use enough power. I fixed it by raising the minimum processor power from the default of 5% to 75% when playing.

How do I do that? Couldn't find it in the client settings, not sure where in Windows 7 to adjust that if that is what you are indicating.

I've actually swapped modes in the BIOS. I know not to use PIO mode, but i did switch from ACPI to compabibility mode, and that didn't help or change anything at all.
