BSOD

I love this game. Well more like loved... I got a new comp, re-installed sins, got Entrenchment, had problems registering, stardock sorted that out, uninterupted play for about six months, then a BSOD. Just one. Re-booted played fine.  Then it gave me a BSOD every other time I tried to play, and now Sins is completely un-usable. I cant play it! A BSOD every time I try to play. I double click the shortcut = BSOD. Any suggestions?

BSODs are generally caused by hardware or driver problems, and the error message it shows can help pin down exactly what the issue is.

The next time it crashes, you may get a BSOD similar to the one below (not all highlighted parts may be present):


Write down the information in the highlighted areas before turning your computer off. The information there can then be researched online to see if others have experienced similar problems, and what the cause was. You may also get a 'windows has recovered from a serious error' message when you turn your computer back on--if you do this, you should agree to send the report to microsoft. You'll then be forwarded to information about that error on Microsoft's knowledgebase, if they have any.
