DiRT Rally Crashing Upon Launch
As stated in the title, DiRT Rally is crashing upon launch. I see the splash screen, followed immediately by the "DiRT Rally Executable is not responding." window. Contents of said window below:
Problem signature:

As can be inferred, I've recently installed a new processor, motherboard, and RAM. The processor is overclocked to 3.7GHz and the RAM to 3200MHz. The game still crashes if I disable the over-clocks, however. Uninstalling and reinstalling the game did not help, nor did simply attempting to verify the files through Steam. One thing to note is that the game has not managed to create its documents folder, which makes me suspicious that it may be attempting to load configuration files from the Steam cloud which is making it expect different hardware than it is finding. Disabling cloud synchronisation coupled with another re-install did not help, though. I also tried running the game in administrator mode as well as trying to run it directly from the .exe rather than through Steam: still no luck. I tried creating a log file by adding "-logging" to the launch options, but no file ends up being created. Any help would be appreciated.

Currently the only fix is to lower your core count to 8 either with msconfig or disable smt.
