Yes,I have the same edition,Unfortunately this is a common problem with Need For Speed Carbon that a lot of people who purchased the game are having as well.
What's worse is I haven't heard of or seen a patch coming out for that problem either. Guess EA doesn't know what's wrong either or just don't care.

I only have CTD's when I am scrolling in the menu or when I come to a car with a lot of vinals on it. Haven't had any in-game crashes. But it is frustrating!

MY ANSWER
Those of you who get a black screen and/or reboot of your system, i have had the same issue but i updated the drivers for my graphic-card and that helped right away..

MY QUESTION[/b]
So far so good... Im starting to play the game and everything seemes to be just fine.. but when i get to the first REAL levels i can only play one of the races out of 3 available races.. In the other two races my game crashes when i have been driving for a little while..

So suddenly Carbon started working on the 6800GS for no reason last week. Runs fine and then crashes after a hour or so. On another pc with an old AIW9600 it runs perfect. Crappy EA code.
