Try unplugging your internet connection. Really.

The game features DRM from hell, it causes crashes. Other than that, it appears that Ass. creed is allergic to Nvidia card, the above link has a screenie of your exact same graphical artifacting. The game is bugged to hell.

I played the leaked version a month ago, my nvidia card didn't have any problems and I didn't didn;t hit a sngle crash till the expected Jerusalem. It seems the devs hadn't screwed the game up at that point.

I am guessing it is the game itself. I just read an article on how terrible the PC version is. I wish I had the link but I already X-ed out.

There's a link right above you, no worries.

Try what Andy has suggested!

... If that doesn't work, whack the fan up to 100% and like Paul said, try sticking a fan on the top of the card.

In your Antec 900, do you have a side fan?
If not, add one!

Glad I could help! What a weird problem huh?

Still crashes with the fan at 100%. I don't have a side fan although it seems a bit excessive to get one game to work, even cranking up the GPU fan seems excessive. Might try to contact Ubisoft but ill most likely get some idiot in a call center who does not have a clue..

Turn it down immidiately! 100% will decrease your fan life drastically!

I am really stuck on what to do then. Do you think its worthwhile contacting BFG about it?
