I know there is a debug thing that is used to help with the crashes, but I forget how to get it.
Anyways, I was trying to get a homeworld with good bonuses and kept redoing the Torians. The first time it crashed it did it after two starts. After the CTD I started again and it went fine the first time, but the second time through it crashes. They both crashed right on the screen where you choose the race.
I started the game up from the Impulse program, if that has anything to do with it.
I would provide more information, but don't have time to atm.
Also, hi to everybody that I knew a while back around here! 
Edit: Oh yea, I just remembered. On my old computer, the game apparently didn't like running full screen and would crash, I think this may be the same case here. I'll run in windowed (which acts like full screen pretty much), so that should fix it.
