display driver crashing entire computer on my save game

like i said above, my display driver crashes and my whole computer crashes. this only happens on my new save game. i downloaded the update, played for a night, then itry to play a couple nights later and it crashes. i can start a new game just fine. i don't know if it is a mod because i can't get into the saved game to disable them.

nvidia driver is current, directx 9.0c, and so on. it worked a couple days ago. any help would be appreciated. i was really kicking some butt. i even had over 500,000bc fairly early in the game.

any help would be appreciated.

Does your computer give a Blue Screen of Death, just reboot, hang, or what (these details are important)?

i was able to salvage from an earlier save. however, no i do not get the blue screen. i would still like to find out if anyone knows what it is so i can avoid it later. i go to load my saved game and it goes through the whole loading process. it gives me tips about economic resources and stuff like that. i hear a couple of the bleeps that prompt you when certain screens are brought up, the i hear a click, and the screen goes black. it goes to the crappiest resolution and everything looks solarized (for anyone who has messed with the effects on a video camera).

i then have to restart my computer. i have reinstalled my driver and checked for updates. i admit, it may be my computer, but i'm still unsure.

i forgot to mention......now that i picked up at an earlier save, it seems to work fine. i don't know if this matters. also, it messed up just before it wigged out on me. the altarians declard war on me. it was a blatant error. my military was around 350 and theirs was like 40. yet they were almost hateful. they threw everything they had at me. just prior, i had good relations with them. then they go postal on me and kamakaze into my planets without a chance for survival. they wouldn't sign a peace treaty even though i was destroying everything they had in defense. even if i offered every tech, planet, all money and influence, they still wanted to fight. reminds me of a guy i used to know. anyway, it was stupid. it is like your local grocery store attacking the white house. pointless.

If the problem persists, post the contents of the debug.err file found in GalCiv2's directory.
