I play alot of games on my computer, from Civ4 to City of Heroes, to Eve, to HL2, to B&W2, etc. Now, my computer locks up every once in a while, but not like how ofen GalCiv2 locks up my computer. I've played two games thus far. The first game was a two hour game, that locked up my computer twice. The second game, the one I am trying to play now, has locked up my computer twice in the hour I've been playing.

This is obviously unplayable as it is, and very fustrating. Please help.

Here's the dump from the debug.err.. I play the game on Display device 1.
