i believe i've found the culprit that was blocking MA3 from exiting properly. i think it is the BOINC program. i was finally pushed over the edge to reinstall everything when i found i couldn't launch any games. so when redoing the whole turkey and getting to boinc, i noticed the caution about Protected Execution possibly blocking any app that uses the GPU in the install options (under advanced). yes, i did not read it carefully the first time. so now everything is hunky dory. boinc probably inserted something deep in 7 that even uninstalling boinc does not work.

Did you actually uninstall Boinc first, and reboot, as a test? Or did you just turn off Boinc (you said you "disabled" some things, but that's not the same as uninstalling).

Anyhow - glad you isolated the problem, and it wasn't anything to do with HDMI.
