    It's a bit extreme, but if the whole computer is locking up, try running memtest86 overnight to make sure it's not bad RAM. Often it's just the RAM connection that is bad, and it just needs to be re-inserted firmly, or even cleaned.

    Also, how many watts in your power supply? This is going to cause your GPU to work hard, 200W-400W may not be enough if you get a decent video card.

    That has been raised so that they won't get complaints from cards that work but just give 15-20fps. The people that scream loudest are the ones who demand 60fps everywhere, and start comparing with other games that don't allow player deco all over the place. It may cause bad performance, but it won't cause lock-ups.

    Also, by chance you have your monitor plugged into the onboard graphic card built into the motherboard and not your discrete GPU by mistake?
