Knew I spoke to soon, once the game gets going it starts crashing again. Yippie!

I was having horrendous problems when playing on a standard size map... continuous CTDs and computer reboots were becoming an every turn event. I tried a small size map and so far I've haven't crashed yet. Hopefully they'll get this fixed soon because small maps are well... small. :)

Cornmaster, I already have automatically reboot option off but it still reboots anyway. *Sometimes* when I log back in XP will report a serious error and I can see what it says from there but usually I just have to go into the system event viewer.

mazra, I don't BSOD but my computer reboots.. In the system event viewer it looks like it is stop code 0x1000007F. Are you getting the same thing?

I have a Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro. I'm not sure what drivers I were using but I'm now using 5.10 and it hasn't made any difference.

Same errors here when I CTD.

Also, I just happened to replace my heat/sink CPU fan because my processor had started to get hotter lately and I heard the telltale sound of a dying fan. Well it turns out that it was the one of the power supply fans so I ended up replacing it. The other fans in the system are working and are...

I don't believe this is related to my video card overheating. I've played Doom 3, FEAR Demo, Thief 3, HL2, Far Cry with no problems at all. Only when I play Civ IV. Here's my specs: 3GHz P4 1 GB RAM Radeon 9800 Pro (updated to latest drivers yesterday, no difference) Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card...

In addition to my frequent CTD and reboots I've now seen maybe 5 times what I can only describe as black or gray "shards" emanating from my cities. Everything will be going along normally and then suddenly this black or gray mass of "shards" will appear to emanate from one of my cities. These...

I have a 9800 Pro.. I'm not sure what drivers I WERE using but I just installed the newest ones today.. it hasn't helped me. I keep CTD and having reboots. And occasionally these funky "black shards" that will appear over one of my cities.

I've started to have a bunch of CTDs now. Previously I was getting the wonderful black monitor/reboot issue but now it seems to have transformed into the CTD problem. I have that same error in the event log when this happens... The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ) cannot be...

I've been having the same issue. The game frequently causes my monitor to go into standby for a few seconds and then the computer reboots. Sometimes XP will report a serious error when I log back in. The system event log always shows a stop code of 0x1000007F. I've noticed this seems to...
