I've recently had my interest in PC games rekindled by some great titles released in the last few months and am fond of these turn based games. I bought GalCiv2 after hearing much about it on the net. PC games... I shouldn't go back down this road should I?
Alas this is where my problems start, as at seemingly random intervals (typical) during gameplay it hangs up on me forcing a reset. I haven't encountered this problem whilst playing games I have also bought recently. These include F.E.A.R. and Civilistation IV. Its frustrating and I'm not sure what to do, but I have to make it known. I have done the obvious things like update video card driver and turn off background programs (firewall, virus checker etc). yet it can be no more than 10 mins in and I'm forced to reset. This is my system... can't see why any problems should be occuring. Is anyone else having a problem? I hope this helps try to solve the issue. The game seem pretty good, its a shame.

Note... I've also tried turning the fan up on graphics card, which I don't believe is running hot now if it ever was. It's very frustrating.
