vir-k.... you have this issue with other games as well. I'm going to suggest you have a hardware problem.

Did you ever run the memtest that was suggested to you?

no not yet

Now I don't want to be rude... Don't you think you should exhaust that possibility? I think if you stick with fixing one game issue, the rest will fall in place. It seems to me that you have something on your system or an hardware issue.

Are you running folding @ home on your PC? I want to point one more thing out... When you start 3 different threads in the period of a month or so... well, you'll get allot of repeated questions and that is not helping you at all. Now I merged your two WOW threads and I'm kind of tempted to merge this one with those two, the issue are pretty close to the same.

Lets concentrate on this thread for now... Try the steps that was suggested to you in your WOW threads and we'll go from there.

I repeat.. are you running Folding @ home? And I'm sure I am asking for information you already mentioned in previous threads but what are your system specs (see we are asking for repeats already).

When you post your system specs be sure to add OS, Driver versions (sound and video) and direct X version please.

I will take that as a no http://www.computerforum.com/56751-folding-home-about-how-team-progress.html

Now I'll just wait on your answer on the memtest86 issue. I does not hurt to also remove one stick of ram (if more then 1 are used) and run your games for a bit, If it crashes then remove the other (replacing it with the previously removed) and run them again.
