I doubt it's a heating issue, i've tested it quite extensively and neither CPU or GPU temps go too high. Also my case has a few dust filters in the air intakes, and this rig is only a few months old so i found no dust anywhere inside.

You could be right about Vista though, i've never tested TQ on XP since i see no point in wasting a load of cash on a gaming rig and not take advantage of whatever the few DX10 games have to offer.

About drivers, i've downgraded to and tested the earlier WHQL version of GeForce drivers, some random beta version, an even older version and then some modded Xtreme-G version. The problem remains.

Even disabling onboard audio didn't have any effect. Defragging hard drives, virus scans, ram tests, and all the other obvious means of checking are done.

Incredibly annoying this problem, everytime i figure a nice character build i remember i'll barely get to the first shaman boss before the first freeze. Then sometimes the game plays for half an hour without any glitches.
