Im getting CTD's all the time, but, its reproduceable. I know roughtly whats causing it, just not exactly, and not how to fix it.

Everythings works as it should, until I take the external cam underwater, then within 30 secs... bang, SH4 ctd's, I can run the external cam above the surface for hours quite happily. Ive had the CTD using the scope too (looking through the lense while its underwater, and crashed once while on the bridge (large wave put the bridge underwater, and ctd'ed).

Notice a simialrity... yeah its all underwater, definately video issue here, just dunno what. Ive got the latest direct X, display drivers etc.

system is as follows

Operating System: Windows Vista™ Ultimate (6.0, Build 6000) (6000.vista_rtm.061101-2205)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: INTEL_
System Model: D975XBX_
BIOS: Default System BIOS
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU X6800 @ 2.93GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.9GHz
Memory: 2044MB RAM
Page File: 904MB used, 3404MB available
Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 10
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
DxDiag Version: 6.00.6000.16386 32bit Unicode

GFX card is a GeForce 9750gx2 (1gig ram)

I highly suspect its the nvidia drivers doing it, MS and nvidia dont seem to be communicating with each other very well with regards to high end 7 series card and vista, but the odd thing is, its only done it since ive installled the 1.2 patch, pre-1.2 I could run the underwater cam for hours.

Tried deleting the plankton (left me with solid grey water under the surface, couldnt see a thing. So replaced that and deleted the rocks and plants... no effect, still ctd'ed.....

Tried a fresh install, and tried playing unmodded/modded, no difference, my hard drives are regualry maintained and defragged, so thats not the problem.

ANyone else got any ideas?? Please... Not being able to see underwater is really very very annoying.
