When I attempt to do a first scan, cheat eingine completely crashes my PC and requires a force restart. When it freezes it's about halfway through the scan and does take a relatively long time to get there, when it freezes the audio bugs and repeated itslelf repeatedly until I force restart my PC. I'm pretty sure it's. It the game as I have got friends to attempt what I am doing and they can do it fine, I have cheat eingine 6.5


Specs:
Graphics card: gtx 980ti
Cpu: i5 4690k overclocked to 4.4ghz
8 gigs of ram
2T hard drive with 200gb of free space

Are you scanning physical memory or the game itself?
If the game itself, check settings and make sure it's not scanning mem_mapped memory or "no cache" memory regions

And try updating all your drivers. That sometimes works as well

Also, avoid starting with large searches such as exact value of zero or unknown and then zero etc.. Clicking the 'pause the game while scanning' might also help.
