    This is from a thread i just started;

    For those experiencing frequent Windows "This program has stopped working"

    I was battling many force close and "This Program Has Stopped Wrking" messages after the last big update. I had changed video card drivers and in-game settings and tried everything i could think of. As a last ditch effort, I disabled my CPU Overclock (seen in my sig below) and just let the chip do its thing at stock.

    Since then, no crashes at all. No crowded fate crashes, no town crashes nothing, no hard freezes, no nothing.

    I do not experience these issues with other programs on my system when it is overclocked (auto-adjusted with the MB, i don't touch anything else, sits at 4.2, not a crazy OC for an i5-3570k.)

    So, if you haven't tried it, give it a shot and report back. Perhaps if we can identify that the game doesn't like overclocked CPUs, it may help the devs with a cause of the issue

    Never experienced crashes like this before, but I moved my dinosaur of a PC up one generation in video card this weekend, and had to notch the FSB back a bit to make it stable again. May be something with more abuse to the RAM or maybe it's more power draw off the motherboard (went from 4870 512MB to 5870 1GB, should be the same power profile, but who knows).

    If you are overclocking anything, may be worth notching it back just to see if it behaves better.

    This started happening to me just yesterday. It usually happens when I'm leaving a zone / loading a new zone. It's not very often, but still annoying. The only thing I can think of is that I recently updated my graphics drivers. It'd be amazing if UPDATING your graphics drivers messed it up. I doubt we'll get a response here though. =/
