Game freezes and hangs (MTW2 and Kingdoms)

[GPNM]

First of all, sorry if this has been posted before.

I'm having a problem, where, after playing for a certain amount of time (usually half an hour or so) my game will always freeze up regardless of whether I'm at the campaign map or in a battle. The sound continues to play and I can still move the cursor. After some time, I can't move the cursor anymore and the sound still continues. The only thing I can do at this point is a hard reboot.

My specs are:

XP Pro 64 bit
Core2Duo E6700 @2.8 Ghz
2GB PC6400 RAM
GeForce 7950GT 512MB

I've got the latest Nvidia forceware drivers installed and I have the latest revision of DX9.

All my other games (including Oblivion, Hitman Blood Money, Half Life 2 etc.) can run perfectly fine.

I've experienced this with Medieval TW but only on rare occasions. This happens all the time for me now.

Anyone have any suggestions, as the game is essentially unplayable for me at this point.

I have the same kind of problem. I seem to recall that when I installed MTW2 shortly after it's release I had no problems, although I got bored of the game but wanted to pick it up again around a month ago, but always when I've played like 20 minutes (preferably in the end of a winning battle to make it extra annoying) the game freezes and the computer either reboots itself ("No signal detected") or just freezes and I have to do a manual reboot myself. I've tried with updating to the latest gpx card drivers and everything, but I just dosen't seem to work.

Thankful for a reply,

Exactly the same thing that's happening here.
I used to play MTW2 without any problems (the occasional crash, but very rarely).

Now when i reinstalled it...it's a constant crashfest.

I can't believe that there's been nothing to fix this yet.
