looks like some kind of graphics related issues to me. Do you use latest Catalyst drivers?  I have Nvidia card myself, but i had to update the drivers, as the game froze on me occasionaly with older ones.

I had only one instance of skipping and it was with AA x8 and AS x16, my video card was overclocked and it was causing an issue (also minidumps). When I put my card back to its default speed with all the same settings(rebellion) not one instance of lag or a minidump since. Also what size map / how far into the game / how many ai? You could just be close to the memory cap.
