Same kind of thing game could play less than 5 mins and crash or could play 30 mins then crash. Finally figured out that this game crashes for a number of reasons that I'll list below. He has Saphire 4870 1Gb vapor-x, 4Gb ram, Core2quad Q9550. 1) Identified his first problem to insufficient power to the GPU. He had a 750W power supply which I thought was sufficient for a single gfx card. Turned out this Winpower psu only had 35amps going to the 12v rails, and even that was split over 2 rails with most of it going to the motherboard instead of the 2nd 12v rail (which the gfx card and hard disks, etc. would be using). In summary what that meant was out of the 750W, only a small amount of the power was actually being passed to the GFX card which was insufficient as the 4870 will require at least about 25amps to itself. Bought a corsair power supply and that fixed that problem (was crashing even with multicore rendering off and detail turned down, though was a more stable while heavily underclocked, which makes sense as it wouldn't be sucking as much power). 2) As described above multicore rendering was still causing crashing even on the new psu. Turned that off and there was a massive drop in performance, but at least it wouldn't crash. He has a quad core which seems to be particularly prone to multicore rendering crashes (again makes sense as the game has to synchronise processing from 4 streams instead of 2 on a core2duo which will be more prone to sync failures). Not sure if there is anything that can be done about this. One theory I had is that if all 4 cores are under heavy load then the most you can do is make sure each of those cores can process their streams as fast as possible without bottlenecks. RAM would be the most obvious potential bottleneck as if at any point there is insufficient RAM available to one of the cores it will result in paging to the hard disk (slooooow) and significantly slow down the processing of that core which would knock it out of sync, or cause a stutter if it can recover quickly. This is only a theory as I haven't got another 4Gb to put in just yet, but will be curious to see if it's anymore stable at all. In meantime I may see if killing background processes (AV, firewall, etc.) will make any diffference as they are all using up resources of their own.
