I doubt that it is temperature. The computer gets much hotter running Shogun Total War 2 in the middle of a huge battle than it does with Sins without crashes. The way we're handling this is to play for 30 to 45 minutes and then quit it and restart it on his machine. We've not had any crashes since we've been doing that. He also reduced the graphics settings, and though we don't know if that's affected the crashing, the load times for him getting the game up

No BSOD's have happened, and no system errors. We monitored the process size tonight. It grew steadily larger over time. The process starts at about half a gig then grows quickly to just under a gig. Over time it grows, though. We just quit playing when it got to around 1.4 gigs and it never crashed. I didn't monitor my process (it is Windows 7, not Vista). I will do that tomorrow and see if Windows 7 (or a system setting on my machine) is preventing t
Thanks for the advice. We'll do it. :)

I posted this on the technical forum but got no replies. My son and I have been playing Rebellions together. I have a Windows 7 Laptop. He has a Vista desktop. His specs (other than being Vista) are better than mine. We will be playing for an hour or so when his computer will just crash, so hard that he has to turn it off and restart manually. Vista 64-bit AMD Athlon 7850 dual core 2.8 GHz
