Since you have not mentioned temperatures my first thought was heat trouble... especially because I'm melting right now.. too hot damnit..

anyway, a few months ago I had freezes too, so using a program called "SpeedFan" which meassures GPU and CPU temps (and more) (current version 4.40?), and whaddya know... gpu was at 85+ degrees celcius. The then new NV driver refused to increase gpu fan speed over 40-50% rpm's. Now I'm using Rivatuner to increase the fan speed manually before I play games (60-70% keeps my card around ~65'). it's a bit of a hassle, but it works and I got used to it.

I also once had to tighten the cpu fan screws. Took me a while to realise the fan had become slanted.

if this ain't it, I'm afraid I have no idea.

best of luck to you. don't give up, it's a good game.

This have happened to me alot, but mainly for the reason of over-overclocking both graphic card and the CPU.
