PC Hard Crash Fix - Temp

Pretty much any loading screen has the ability to freeze my whole pc. Recently, I havent been able to log in without crashing. Here's what i found for anyone else having this issue:

1). While POE is running, open Task Manager
2). Right click anywhere and select "Go to details"
3). From the detailed list of processes find PathOfExile.exe
4). Right click and select "Set affinity"
5). Uncheck cores 1 and 2 (leaving a core uncheck means PoE wont try to use it, the program will crash but it wont freeze your PC)

Only issue is you'll have to repeat this step every time you boot up the game.
I believe there's a free program you can download that will automate this, but I opted to just do it manually.
