Here are some:

-Try running the game with only one RAM stick at the time. Are your comp's mobo's chipset drivers installed?. Does your comp has plenty of cooling?

Here is some more that, i've copied and pasted from another forum member. ( [FSB]Med )


Download Memtest86 - This allows you to create a boot floppy wich will run extensive tests on your memory. Its a great tool that many use, as is Prime95.

Do you have 2 sticks of ram ?? If you do try only one and see if this helps. Aldo install the older Via drivers. Could also be your power supply. Try unplugging any un-needed devcices (CD roms, Hard Disk etc...) see if this helps. The 4600's suck quite a bit of power it looks like its running out of juice when rendering D3D/OGL stuff. Try increasing your AGP voltag by say .05 in your BIOS.

Test 3Dmark 2003 and see if it does the same. This really hammers your GPU so should produce a "CRASH" the same as 2k3.

Run "msconfig" from the Run line and disable any unwanted startup items. Like the crap that usually build up in the Systray.

You could just format everything and start again. This will solve any "Software" issues
