Crashes straight to desktop

from Sins Forums

Are the crashes (ie the game just exits randomly) and you're left with the desktop related to "minidump" or any known issue? Or is my OS screwing up again. I never had the problem before, but after this last format I've been having it quite often. It's not a hardware issue.

It's usually associated with games that lag where it freezes up for a few seconds across the board.

Okay, is this a crash to desktop (where you get no minidump message) or a minidump (where you do)? From what I can tell in single player a minidump means the game hit a problem in its own code (or a mods code), while a crash to desktop is either a memory (above the 2GB RAM usage) or hardware issue. Though it is certainly possible that high memory issue would increase the chance of minidumps as well.

I don't get any messages. I have 4 gigs of RAM. It just crashes to the desktop, game exits and no message appears. Also, it's during ICO games.
