I kept removing items with no improvement at all until I only had the speakers and keyboard/mouse. I unplugged the speakers and there was a huge improvement. I played Oblivion for about an hour and a half with no problems. I reattached the speakers and played for another 45 minute to an hour before it crashed. Now I'm really confused. Is it the USB ports on the mobo? Is it something with the audio? The audio drivers are up to date. ?????????????

That is an incredibly strange problem. I'm assuming they are the USB powered speakers that so comonly come with OEM PCs these days. Try the speakers on another PC entirely, then try with the USB plugged into one and sound on the other, and vice versa. And try a different set of speakers entirely or just headphones. Eventually you should come to some conclusion about something.
