Keeps crashing

[Corn Flakes]

I have a problem with Civillization IV. I'll be playing for about 10 mintues, then it crashes. No error message or anything. It's like it just stops and the desktop appears. It keeps doing this and is driving me crazy. Any ideas? Does a recent patch sole this?

I too am having issues of crashing, though mine are when I try to save using the shift F5 key it saves then crashes the game and kicks me off.

My game freezes and locks up.

can happen in 5 minutes or sometimes an hour.
