Ok. Since it's crashing at multiple different points, relatively
quickly (less than an hour), my first guess is the video driver. My
guess is that you have the very latest video drivers from your card's
chipset manufacturer (which is likely to be Nvidia or ATi), and that
these are somehow upsetting DS2 on your system. If I were you I would
try rolling back to gradually older versions of
Detonator/Catalyst/whatever, and see if the problem goes away.
Alternatively if you don't have the latest version, try it.
Just checking - you do have the latest DirectX, don't you? 9.0c
If you have an ATi card then FWIW my driver version is 6.14.0010.6497
Most other possbilities would tend to affect other apps as well (eg.
bad RAM) - do you have any other graphics-intensive games? If you can
run something like FarCry or UT smoothly then you know there's no
problem with your card or RAM and the problem is specific to DS2. I
know DS1 was a pretty flaky game for crashing so it wouldn't surprise
me if DS2 is the same. Have you tried posting this on
alt.games.dungeon-siege?
