F1 2012 Bink videos crash my game?

[Cruzer92]

So I just unlocked F1 2012 and already having issues. When I launch the game and it goes into one of the videos in the beginning like they always have, the game sputters and then my whole computer locks up and I have to do a hard restart. It did the same thing when I watched the Racing 101 video during the Young Driver Test. Just took the OC off my computer and I'm going to turn the graphics down in the game, but I don't see as to why it would do this. Looking for anyone else who may have this problem.
Specs:
AMD 965 BE CPU
MSI 6870 Twin Frozr II
6GB DDR2 RAM
Win7 64-bit Ultimate
650W PSU

Not sure what else you'd need from this, but it shouldn't be having any issues running this game at all.

I was able to play the demo with no problems, watching all of the same cut scenes and videos.

Been playing the season challenge, just finished the Canada race and when it gave me the contract video for RB, it froze up and crashed.

Submitted a ticket to CM. Hopefully they can do something. Still looking for a fix though...

First install the latest drivers available http://benchmark3d.com/amd-catalyst-9-001-september-4

And then try adjusting 2d clocks to match 3d clocks as per this thread on guru3d
