Constant Crashing!

I just started playing again after probably a year or more. What do I come back to? Constant crashing that makes the game unplayable. I'd love to get this resolved. I just updated my PC before coming back with an Intel i7 860 processor, 4gb ram, GeForce 9500 GTS and 64bit Win7. Started playing CoX with almost completely fresh hardware and windows load. Now I get this constant crashing.

The crash times seem to be random. Sometimes I'll get to play for quite a while (20 minutes, maybe?) and other times it will happen pretty quickly. It happens always after logging in and choosing a character and seems to happen on other servers than my main one as well. I've tried compatibility modes, running as administrator and the "-renderthread 1" tag on the shortcut. Might be interesting to note that I'm playing on Steam. Any ideas?

I've had it happen quite a bit myself, and I've realized that it has to do (in my case) with a latent connection. If my wireless connection spikes or lowers to 2MB for certain periods, I'm guaranteed a crash.

Hmmm. That could be part of my problem but I think I've since pegged it down to mostly bad RAM. I ran MemTest last night and it came back with 56 errors, so I'd say that's probably a lot of my issues right there.
