So, in theory, creating a profile named 'Weiss Pinguin' should turn your game into a crash free sexy beast?

Just had another one. I was near the Azores and trying to approach a convoy when an escort began to ping me. As he ran in to attack, CTD! This was not from a reload as I was still live after leaving Brest. I've definitely got to test my RAM, and if that doesn't reveal anything, I'll see about sending it back for advanced diagnostics. These CTD's are really beginning to hack me off; they happen at any year in the game. I'm pretty sure it's not the game but something with my OS or hardware.

Heat perhaps?

As I as before, take time off today to check what is wrong

You mentioned using a laptop, I assume that its got its own dedicated video card unless you're using an old one. Heat has caused several CTD's with several of my games, with all the fans/exhaust vents on the bottom the heat dissipation is horrible. To finally fix it I put some large rubber feet (like the ones under a stereo receive or dvd player) that raised it up about a 1/2" and has pretty much solved the overheating problem (on my laptop if it goes beyond the threshold it shuts down the computer and kills all processes (like a windows version of kill -9 SH3) in order to turn off).

Yes, it is a notebook [I loath the term "laptop"] but is a high end one, the ASUS G73J series, all top spec. This baby has two fans pushing air through the chassis from front to rear, unlike many which force it out the side or through a single rear vent. The temps on this thing never get higher than the 30's and I always use a fluted hard support base. She's getting all the air she needs. ATI dedicated graphics processor @ 1GB. This thing smokes, but the CTD's are getting to be really annoying. They don't happen all the time, just often enough to irk me. I make a point of having 4 or 5 save points throughout a patrol. I'm going to be leaving it on all night tonight and run the full version of Memtest to see what that reveals. I'm really hoping it's just a bad RAM stick from the factory as that is the easiest fix.
