Severe, repeated crash

As a sidebar to the above, why do you have 768 MB of ram?

No major computer dealer (Dell, HP, Alienware etc) with a reputation for quality will sell a machine with an odd amount of RAM in standard configuration. This should be either 512 MB or 1 GB. Even if all (3x) 256 MB sticks are compatible, you'll get some really weird crashes with 3 sticks, not many on each machine but enough on a large sample of machines to make the big companies simply not sell this amount of memory.

I would have a look at your memory physically and see what’s on the board as that’s an odd amount of memory you are reporting considering most mother boards have either two or four slots and memory chips tend to have to be used in pairs unless there is only one chip in use. I suspect you will find you have 4 256 chips two of which are in a faulty bank which is only reporting it as 256 and I would bet that memory it is reporting is not always working properly.

I would also run a memory function check, and is the PC crashing intermittently regardless of what its running? I suspect that it will be even if business software is perforce more stable than most games.

Other than that defrag your disk make sure its less than 80% full turn off the power saver and screen saver. If you have it run Norton system works over the machine to fix any registry errors you might have most Pc’s have them to one extent or another and they can cause random crashes.

Ok in which case I haven’t got a clue since you have checked all of the things I could think of and it’s not that.

You probably have done this but try removing and reinstalling the game in case it’s not installed correctly. Other than that is there any one out there with an idea.

I do get this save error but after much longer use of SEV normally 6-8 hours.

To avoid this I reboot my PC very 3-4 hours. mMust be something to do with a memeory leak.

yes it does. It has 1G of RAM and the os is XP. Hope that points you in the right direction to fixing your problem.

My computer is also custom build and normally work fine with everything i run exept SEV. From time to time, SEV start to act on me, random crashes, random bugs, error messages etc. So far, the only fix i found to be working is a good old defrag. Why i does work for me, i don't know but i have fixed this game 3-4 times doing this (and i did it for other games in the past). I'm sure many computer geeks here will claim my suggestion has no value but just try it, it might works (at least, if it does not fix it, you will know there might be a more serious reason why the game is acting up).

Computers are an art not a science and if it works it works regardless of if you think it’s going to work it’s worth a try especially if you tried it in the past. Defragging shouldn’t cure things but it often does as does fixing broken registry elements which apparently have no reference to the program having the problem. For example one of my Pc’s is having sound issues at the moment but the drivers are fine and up do date I have checked and up dated real player and my diagnostic program checks out the sound card as ok so why can I only get sound with check it diagnostics still open I don’t know but it works.It was also working fine till this morning when I changed the radio chanel playing through my browser.

I will fix it properly sooner the later but more than likly will never know exactly what the problem was These things happen reality cares not if it does not fit your pet theory.

Pardon me, Oh-Great-All-Knowing-One, for now I see the error of my ways. Instead of studying computer science, I should have taken a class in computer art. And perhaps black magic as well?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!

Well, look on the bright side. That statement might at least get you an honorable mention for the 2007 Darwin Award.
