What are you doing when it crashes? Is it fully patched? Does it crash to desktop or do you need to hard boot?

We're going to need a little bit more info hehe.

Yes, it is fully patched (V1.2). It crash to desktop usually when a torpedo hits a boat, but sometimes it crash without any reason.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your help.

Maybe just a coincidence, but I have not had any crashes since I move the in-game 3D sound slider to the left. Give it a try.

Another thing perhaps try rolling back your Cat drivers to 7.3 there has been some reported issues with the new 7.4

Of course I would try the clean out and re-install first.

I had a hard disk drive error. I have reinstalled now and it seems to go fine. Thanks.

If you have a disk drive error, that could be bad. You should check your event viewer in the administrative section of the windows control panel. Check the "system". If you see a lot of red X's that say disk drive or bad block, your drive maybe getting ready to fail.

If that is the case, open a command prompt and type "chkdsk /f " (without the quotes) hit enter, then Y to run the disk check on reboot if it asks.
You'll most likely have to restart to run the check disk program. A lot of times, it can fix problems with your disk. Mainly fixes files that are in bad physical sectors.
It can buy you time. I've seen drives run fine for a long time after running it, but it could be a forewarning hard drive failure.
Check disk takes a little while to run depending on problems it may find.

Hope this helps.
