Crash to Desktop after End Turn

Same point every time, when I hit "end Turn" the game disappears and I'm back at my desktop. I'm only playing a large galaxy which my rig should handle, and I'm kicking ass in this game. I've spent 2 hours playing it and 4-5 trying to troubleshoot. If it wasn't such an awesome game, I'd just take it back and be done with it. Here's my debug.err... PLEASE HELP ME!!!
