How do you know the issue is video card specific? It can be many other things, like heat issues, lack of power issues, memory issues, etc. Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say? Would you please post a CoH Helper and a Hijack this log so we can help you further, thanks! 
Will do - I assume its videocard cos Vista tells me thats what it is.

Fair enough, any chance you can recall the exact message it gives? That would be helpful too!

In my sigline is a link for coh helper and hijack this... grab em and post their output please so we can look at the full system specs.
Also, as FMJ says, we need the actual error message.
Purchased myself a shiny new computer
only to discover the vidoecard and CoH have issues with each other - they don't want to date! Can you imagine!
The issue - The game crashes intermittently - this can be anything from a few minutes into loading to 2 to 3 hours in, no rhyme or reason to it. The game crashes to desktop and the new PC is so fast I'm playing again in about 30 seconds.
I'm running vista for the first time and the all important videocard is;
XFX GeForce GTX275 896MB (Model 11X-GTX275-896)
Other PC stats
- ASUS P5Q Pro motherboard
- Intel core 2 Quad Q8200
- 4GB DDR2 (2x2GB) (Corsair Twin2x4096-6400CS)
Game graphics are tricked up to the max and in game it runs smoothly with instant access to trade screen at WW and super fast zoning (compared to my old PC where it would often mapserver on my first attempt to access WW trade screen and take at least 30 seconds to open screen in any event).
So in short the system is a beautiful thing and have no other issues on other games, internet etc with PC or video card - just this annoying issue of getting dc'd for no apparent reason.
And I do have the most up to date driver.
All help received with gratitude.
