Game Randomly Freezes Up: Not covered in FAQs

Completely

I just installed DA on this computer right after clean reinstall of XP

P4 - 2.8 Ghz

1.5 GB of memory

Im using a Nvidia FX5200 (128 mb), and the drivers have been updated to the latest version (May, 2008)

Screen resolution is 1280 x 1024, and all the other settings are the default settings for the video card.

The game and computer randomly freezes up completely. I can't do Ctr+Alt+Del, Alt F4, or anything. The only thing that I can to is to pull the power and reboot. This computer has never had any problems with any other programs freezing up... only GalCiv2 DA.

I checked the FAQs, readmes, and searached the forum for any other people having this problem. I haven't been able to find anyone having problems when their drivers and resolutions were correct.
