Not sure if it will help anyone else but I think I have found the culprit to be the effects graphics setting. On ultra it would consistently crash whenever I go into Character view or inventory. After reducing it to High I haven't had it crash so far.

Haha all true the game has a lot of probs but i have been having this sort of issues with different games for a while, not always recent ones, so i think for me it comes down to two things, SPU as you explained earlier, haha we actually talked about this on 2 threads sorry btw, and the ram.

SPU because i actually dont know for sure what i have and what i need now, and especially Ram in the end because (my understanding of this is really basic ) when i start the game after a fresh computer start i get 2 sometimes 3h gameplay uninterrupted, but when i start the game after some work or watching some movies it takes at most 20 min for it to restart. Now the way ram was explained to me (simplified) is that the longer you use your comp the more ram you consume and eventually you need to restart to refresh it, which would explain if i have weak ram why on fresh start i get to use the program longer... BUT i'm no pro don't know if i m just talking out of my b**t here or no.

Anyways thank you a lot for all the help, i ll update when i ve something. Probably gonna end up droping by a shop for a check up lol.

Good luck to you all!

EDIT: After autopsy my graphic card was loose in its port !! Corrected that testing now !!!
