Crash after random time played

[Boogeyman]

The game has started to crash randomly. It usually takes about 15 mins of gameplay, but sometimes it takes hours before the game crashes. This is a recent problem, I've been playing for months without any issues before this. I have not changed my setup and the last change to the game was adding the republic dlc.

First the game freezes for a second and then the windows notification comes up. After that I need to use the task manager to kill the process.

please post a dxdiag.txt (you can delete everything after the "Sound devices" section for brevity), settings.txt, system.log and error.log files (you'll need to rename the .log files to .txt to upload). Also open setup.log, search for "checksum", and paste that line only in here.

Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU) 1/ before starting the game up and 2/ after 15 minutes' play. If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, Google for and install SPEEDFAN.

[ck_application.cpp:940]: Checksum is 1.092 (ICBN) 341905858

error.log is an empty file.

The problem stopped when I started a new game, but now has arisen again after about 150 years of gameplay. The game crashes almost every ingame month making it quite unplayable.

Temperatures for GPU 50ºC at start and 55ºC during gameplay. CPU 45ºC and 50ºC.

You are probably seeing a whole different issue now, the new auto-save crash in 1.092, you'll see several threads on it here and in Bug Reports. It will be fixed in the next patch.

I wasn't using auto-save until the problem started... It also doesn't occur during auto-save. It can happen at any time.

OK, try updating your video driver http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/59642
Also edit that settings.txt to say refreshRate=60 and fullScreen=yes , does that help at all?
