Technical problems and solutions!!! (all problems and errors are stored here)

First off great game!

I am having random crashes during game play. It seems to happen mostly when I am in combat, I can't remeber it happening outside of comabat at all. Most of the time it just freezes my whole computer up and I end up having to restart the machine. A few times my display just goes out and says no video, like the video card is not working. This has happened at random times and I have been able to play up to 2 hours without crashing, but somtimes it's just ever 5 minutes or so.

My system:
Quad Core 6600
4GB 6400 ram
BFG 8800GTX (latest drivers)
Windows Vista (all updated)
Sound Blaster audigy 2 (latest drivers)
Intel X33 motherboard ( latest drivers and bios updates)

My friend has also had these issues, he is running a XFX 8800 GTX as well so I think it's video card related. I have adjusted my in game setting by lowering them and still get the lock ups.

Thanks in advance for any help.
