Weird CTD's and reboots since last update

Not sure why yet, but it only happens with CoH and no other game. Graphics are suddenly lagging at lower FPS even with some settings lowered. Game will run for 20-30 minutes then crash. Crash can be a freeze that requires a reboot. A CTD with message that CoH stopped responding. Or the computer shuts down.

System is good. Windows 7 Pro 64bit, 8GB Ram, AMD6770 2GB. So way over the maximum memory CoH would require. 400 GB free HD space too.

Could be a hardware issue, but only happens when running CoH so unlikely.

Which version of AMD/ATI Catalyst is running?

The very first sticky in this forum is the Safe AMD/ATI drivers list. Those of us with Radeon cards have been providing feedback on which versions play nice with CoH.

There's also this sticky on how to provide more information about your system.

Edit: Just another note, the only time I've seen my PC bluescreen/wholesale crash with CoH is when I had overdrive enabled in Catalyst. CoH really does not like overclocking. I'm not sure if you're using overdrive or not, but I might as well put it out there.

Again, most of the other games you're playing are, likely DirectX-based.

CoH is OpenGL and stresses a system differently.
It's possible (likely actually since thse are AMD/ATI cards) that you have something in your driver causing the crash.
