    tried with the settings all low and still no. I even did performance test on the game in the video options and it scored great

    Yea the card can run it. I found something interesting though dealing with my board and how it should be replaced since mine was built before March 20. Ill send it in and see what happens

    What other games do/have you played?

    I'd be weary of running CoH on an FX 750m :/

    Why don't you download again. Or better yet buy another installer probably there's a defect with the Installer.
