the game crashes by the time the level loads..

[stpkg]

I also experience system restart or program crash & exit problem.
The crash occurs rather random for me but all in the adventure mode.

I listed some of the situation I experienced crash or system restart below:
1) Just finished loading the game
2) running around within a short time after entering the game
3) running around from area to area
4) running around after playing for a long time.

I sent my DXdiag report to support but he seemed cannot figure out any problem.
I think that the crash is related to conflicts with either DISPLAY or SOUND. However, since most of my games do not have this problem, I gather that this is a program fault.
Unlike XBox, PS or Wii, the hardware and software of a PC varies a lot.
Nevertheless, this is the responsibility of the PC game developer to release a stable game.
