i'd say it just does not agree with with nvidia cards. my father's computer is brand spankin new with the same card (nvidia geforce 9800 gt) and his stalls exactly the same way mine does. totally random times. i've installed the new dlls (on his and mine) to no avail, i've cranked up the fan speed to 80% where it now sounds like a v8 in my computer, and i've made sure all the overclocking is turn to its minimun settings.

is there anything else i can try?
