TA:TW/MTW2 hard-lock up occurring often

[CmmdrSoul]

Hey, great mod but I'm having some issues which are really odd. After about four or five turns my computer will either just up and reboot on me(typically right as I click on city to move a hero), or the game will freeze up looping the last second of audio rapidly(seems to have something to do with clicking the buttons on in-game menus). Either way this is a problem which could cause serious damage to my pc so unfortunately I think I'm going to have to avoid the MTW2 engine and this mod because of it


I play Shogun 2 and Empire(Darthmod for both) frequently, along with BF3, Skyrim, etc so I can't imagine I have an overheating/power/memory problem, and I've done the typical Total War voodoo(delete the .rwm, verify cache, run as admin, etc), yet nothing seems to help. The reason I'm posting this is that I'm hoping someone knows of this issue, and can direct me towards something more inspiring than having to quit on this awesome mod all together. Thanks for any help.

Update: If you have an ATI card make sure you disable the ATI HDMI sound drivers. Having two active sound drives I've found reduces performance with games like Shogun, but with MTW2 causes severe crashing, go figure. Between this and scrubbing/reinstalling my realtek sound drivers I seem to have to fixed the problem, just posting this in case anyone ever runs into the same prob.
