Just as the title says. I'm having some problem where the game freezes up my entire computer. There is no option to Ctrl+Alt+Delete, no error message posted, nothing...Just a very frozen computer, forcing me to actually turn it off, and then turn it back on again, as I don't have a reset button on this computer.

This version of Civ 4 was bought over Steam, with Warlords and all the updates packaged along, so I'm quite certain I'm using the most up to date version of civ 4.

I have no idea what causes this error, and I can't reproduce it myself. I just know it happens after a certain amount of time.

On a side note, in world builder, when I place Hit Singles, Hit Movies, or Hit musicals(whatever the 3rd one is), they appear as units of wheat, instead of some kind of icon that I imagine would be unique. Previously they were appearing as lumps of coal...:confused:
I wonder if this has anything to do with the problem, but who knows?
 
Okay, I have a 3gig pentium 4
1.5 gigs of memory
ati radeon 9800 pro
audigy 2 soundcard

and i should have the latest drivers. at least, i updated maybe a month ago, or less. given how old this game is, i wouldn't think that'd matter too much, but i'm tempted to check again.

anyway, any help would be appreciated

I also just changed the maxframerate in that civ4config to 30, as i read in a few posts on here. we'll see if that helps
