download memtest86 (google it) and use it to check your RAM for errors. If you come up clean, post a warnings.log and dxdiag.

posted the dxdiag and warning files but the last time i played it did not crash..


here's the warning log:

OK, your graphics drivers are a little old, but that shouldnt be a problem (theyre newer than the game so...)

Get on and run memtest, DoW reacts badly to memory problems.
