is likely a video memory issue... that is an onboard card, yes? (built into mo-bo...)

if it is, those cards use u pc's ram as their memory... u can likely go into the BIOS and allocate more ram to the card... this will alleviate your crashes... on less than perfectly optimized maps u card requires more memory to render the 3d enviroment... when u card hits it's limit ur puter will crash

i an walk u through this, but u will need to call me as u will be offline while u make the changes...

happy to help
