one of my accounts got frozen (insufficient funds at the time) and so I wasn't able to experiment again until today. Well, I got my vid card back from RMA. Nothing's changed. I don't run main window at 45 and background at 15... main is at 20 and backgrounds are at 5. I do have room to drop down the graphics settings... I'm about to try that. all my wows are reading off the same folder. While air intake to the vid card might help... I run with liquid cooling on my processor. in any case turning down the graphics settings and see what happens.


[Edit]: Dropping graphical settings all the way down fixed it... though this is a bit rough on my eyes... I suppose it's better than dealing with the crashes.
