Crashing on death

Every now and again (particularly in Thid) my computer will completely freeze when I die, and need restarting - ctrl alt del does nothing, and the mouse completely freezes.

Any idea why this is?

Another problem I have is that there are certain places (like the ramp up to Gothwaite and a little spot in the Alb frontier) that will also cause a similar crash, but for apparently a different reason - when I restart then, it says the gfx card failed to complete a drawing operation (which doesn't come up on the death-crashes).

Anyone else get this, and if so, any way of sorting this?

PC is an athlon 2400xp, with 600 odd ram. Gfx card is a Radeon 9500 pro. All drivers have been regularly updated.

gfx card failed to complete a drawing operation sounds like driver error. I have never trusted Radeon drivers, its the sole reason I stickup for the Gf4ti range. Check you really are using the latest, then uninstailling them completley, then reinstall, if that doesnt work try and use and older version of the drivers.

If that still doesnt work, I suggest changing video cards, to confirm that its your Radeon/Drivers. Its possible you have a hardware fault in the card, though crap drivers are my bet...
