Regarding the CTDs:

A few months ago I upgraded from an ATI x800 to a x1950 graphics card. I was able to max out the graphics with a decent framerate, so I did. I started getting regular CTDs after an hour or two of play. After some investigation it looked like the video card was overheating, so I turned the graphics down some and haven't had a CTD since.

The moral of the story is just because the card can output a certain framerate doesn't guarantee it won't overheat. I would try turning the graphics way down and playing for awhile to see if this is a fix. If so, experiment turning them up until you find a level that works.
