My computer randomly crashes to desktop it has never happend before so i think it has something to do with my videocard NVIDEA GeForce 9800 GT. Any idea's.

Edit.
It is wrong to say crash to desktop more like, the game freezes and i have to restart my computer.

I was encountering a problem very simular to this when i 1st installed SH4, i had installed the game then updated to 1.4. I thought i had a corrupt download on the patch so redownloaded with no success, i then updated to 1.5 by purchasing the u-boat addons thru subsim via direct2drive (so subsim got a piece of the pie). It still crashed often and hard. The sticky thread on reinstalling sh4 didn't seem to help as it pointed me to registry entries that didn't show up in windows xp and otherwise the game was reinstalling ok

After 3 days of steady crashes i took a day off from playing with the problem and went golfing. While on the golf course it occured to me to check for conflicts in my display area.

I had recently updated my video card to a 512 mg radeon agp 8x video card and it had a conflict, lowered the agp from 8x to 4x and haven't had a crash in hundreds of hrs of gameplay since.

It is simply amazing at just what else can be accomplished while on the golf course. I myself have solved many odd problems whilst in port and swinging my sticks on the ole' links.
