Try the re-install but if you're still experiencing crashes you should submit the minidump as suggested here:

The Beta exists to fix problems and they can be much more effective at it if they have the data telling them exactly where the problem is.

On Windows 7 the minidump is here "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\Sins Dump". It's hidden by default so you will need to open "folder and search options" from the organize menu, then under the view tab select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives".

I've had similar crashing.  It's very much like the problems I had with the other sins games before patching the executable "large address aware" bit.

It is really depressing that this is still an issue.  Computers with large amounts of RAM are more and more common these days, and this game is very hungry for RAM.
