Ok im having a very frustrating game bug here, i have played the game for about 20 or so hours i come to do the Circle Mages Tower area and without spoiling it their is a certain point in the mission where changes happen, after this point i manage to get a few hours worth of play before the game crashes and just shows a corrupt mosaic of colours across my screen with a corrupt white-ish box around where my mouse cursor was and then the computer locks up this is all accompanied by some random sound corruption.
I managed to complete the Circle Mages Tower with many quick saves and computer resets i was hoping that the issue was just with that area but i was wrong i then played for another few hours with out a crash but upon doing the Derilict Warehouse mission in Denerim the crashes started again i completed that area again with many saves only to be greeted by just random crashes whilst going about my business in denerim i.e looking at the codex or the map or trying to lvl a character.
I have tried running the game in lower graphics, windowed mode, checked the heat issues, tried the 1.01 patch though many say that is bugged, i have not had their problems but i have tried rolling back from the latest Nvidia drivers to the previous versions ...nothing seems to work, i am hoping that someone out their might have had this same issue or may have advice that can help me in my efforts i have included below some basic system specs.

That is characteristic of a video card driver, or video card issue. Your pc locking up means the video card has caused system instability. try updating driver, or try a different video card. The game shouldnt completely lock your pc.

like i said, video drivers.... make sure they're up to date. if that doesnt work, try a different vid card if you have access to it. you'll be surprised by the results.

i have tried the190.62 and the 191.07 which are the latest drivers if anyone has any other thoughts i would welcome them.
I have no access to any other graphics card my old ones get given to friends and yes i might be able to get them back to test them out but the hassle involved is an issue.

I have read here of other nvidia users actually going back to an earlier driver version, like 18X.XX. Some people play perfectly fine with the latest drivers, some people have had graphic glitches fixed by going back to an earlier driver version. I haven't updated my drivers since June and I haven't had any problems.
It goes without saying, that overheating would cause issues too, if you haven't checked for that.

The bugs and crashes started to pile up in the broken circle (near the end).
Something is fishy in the tower, i'm sure.
I got NVidia 8600, and the latest beta drivers. (Before someone asks why beta, i tried it because i hoped it will fix the flicker bug).
