The 100% CPU Core choking is back.

There was a small, brief period of happiness where this game worked, a couple of weeks after Pinhead and just before The Artist where everything was working fairly well, my Temps were back to being under 80°C, and my set-up wasn't chugging like a jet engine.
I guess BHVR noticed I was too happy, because once the Artist released, all of my problems that were previously fixed came back.
Core #1 in my CPU is regularly choking to 100% which is causing huge Temp spikes and causing my rig to jet engine it's fans and lag a bit.
I'm guessing the Memory Leak is back that came when Pinhead released. Seems they could only keep it away for a week or so.
