Well, this seems to have happened recently. I got Spore as a gift 2 days before christmas, but about 2 days ago, it started to freeze. Now, i cant even start a new game without it literaly freezing within a minute of starting. Ive also contacted EA Support and theres no suprise that they arent any help, well, anyways, heres my specs:
