Re: I can consistently crash the game so I need to reboot to play again

Well, going to option 4 seemed to buy me another 100 turns or so (or maybe that was just "the graphics card cooled off overnight"?) before meeting the same inevitable fate. Thanks for all the help, but appears I just got a lemon in the ol' "gaming laptop" department.
I have a theory that the reason I can play high-end 3D games all day and crash the card on 2D games has to do with 3D libraries being more careful about unloading textures they no longer need and making other graphics optimizations, it's probably at the level of some third-party library you're using being "looser" with 2D graphics because "surely it doesn't matter" and not really something you can do much about.
