[Solved] PC gets CTD after long freeze... / Video.con used by another process

[ZirzoR]

so when i first played PR i played for about 5 min and i was getting freeze lags and stuttering, i fixed this by taking away dynamic shadow and lightning, but after that i play like normal and after about 30 min i get a huge freeze lag from about 30-120 seconds, and then it just keeps going like normal, it happends everytime, and sometimes after 1or2 minute freeze lagg it just crashes to my desktop, i've tried all thing in all the other forum thread and such, its not a hardware problem cus i can run all games on highest graphics and everything so its not a performance issue, i dont have a old comp, i have all latest drivers, latest directX tried reinstalling everything, but i love this game so much and i just want to play it without these freeze laggs ;<

Quadcore 3.4Ghz
sapphire radeon 4870HD

Hello again, i recently discovered that my prerror file was giving out error messages in readme file at the exact time of the freeze and CTD and it looked like this.
