After playing DAOC for a few minutes, the game crashes and I get the error listed below.

Any idea what could be going wrong? The system is perfectly fine when I'm not playing!

Do you get this problem when playing other memory/graphics heavy games or is it just Camelot?
Might be worth checking on the Asus or Nvidia site to see if there are later Nforce2 mobo drivers. I've also heard a lot of people saying the Nforce boards (and specifically the A7N8X) are a bit temperamental with memory. Try 'underclocking' your memory for a bit and see if that clears the problem. Drop the FSB down a notch or two for a while to test.
I assume you have already updated your graphics drivers and reinstalled directx? If not do that as well.

Well, problem still persists. Here's what I tried:
-Formatted the hard drive, reinstalled winxp pro, installed SP1
-Went to nvidia and downloaded newest nforce 2 all in one and geforce drivers.
-Installed max payne 2, played for about an hour with no problem.
-Installed DAOC SI. During installation, got a stop 0x0000000a error.
-Reinstalled SI, everything was ok and was up and running. 5mins later crash to desktop with no error message.
-Brought more juice to my DDR memory. Upped from 2.6V to 2.8V, no help <no overclocking whatsoever>
-swapped video card for my trusty old geforce 4 mx 64mb. same problem occured.


Anyone know why DAOC would just crash to desktop with no errors? This is really strange.
