I should have mentioned it has the same problem on trying to exit the game
normally....sound keeps going and screen goes blank...lockup needing
complete reboot.

On top of this, the system is giving explorer errors (invalid memory access,
general protection errors, page faults)

The weird thing is the other system is pretty much flawless even *with* the
alt-tab and the setup (aside from the HDD) is the same
