do you have the latest drives?

have you got all the hot fixes for vista?

if yes, then it might be a compatibility problem and Nvedia will have a hot fix soon enough

Are you overclocking your video card?  At what part does it freeze?  After character creation, before character creating, or during character creation?

Turn off SLI in the nvidia drivers and see if the problem goes away.

I do not care how stable...set the clocks to normal...then try again

Good luck!

i have the latest drivers but running on 32 bit xp atm waiting for vista disk but surely this wouldnt crash the comp so quickly and lag so bad?

also nothing is overclocked only the cpu as its stable 30c havent messed with the gpu clocks

Try to get the clocks to normal, and try for a while...

If not...you may have one of the 9800's that were screwey...if I find that post I will link it here

Cheers

Almost certainly a hardware or driver issue - can you play any other games, or is this a new system you just built for AoC?

  Try re-installing the video drivers after downloading Driver Cleaner Pro and using it in safe mode, first.   It's just the easiest thing to start with.

 Nvidia drivers for the 8800 series, atleast, have been known to screw themselves over if you've tried installing/re-installing drivers(the same old or new versions) more than once on system.   Windows(Xp or Vista) just doesn't clean out the uninstalled drivers well enough. 

 Your system, itself, may appear stable and fine when overclocked until you really stress it with a large app.  So, I'd rollback the overclocking as well.   Whether it's back to stock or incremental is up to you. 

 At any rate, the nvidia cards are touchy, at times.  When an issue appears, it will keep happening until it's fixed and the drivers are clean installed(like above).  This has been my experience, anyhow. 

 If this doesn't work it's most likely the driver version itself but it could be the card(s).  I just have a feeling that it's really the cpu overclocking that's caused the issue to begin with.  ...GL!

EDIT-- I'm wondering about your PSU, too.  But, I figure your set there at 900w or above, for a SLI setup.
