I've had the same problem, but my sollution might not help... no harm in trying though!

- go to ATI Control center and set AA to minimun (2x) and disable "let program decide" option
- restart the game and go straight to options menu (F11) and let the game decide what is best for you to run.
- reset ATI Control center as it was

I've had my problems happen after I set the options way too high...

If turning down settings helps, it MAY be heat related, as the more eye candy you have enabled, the more activity/heat that goes on. Before playing, check card temperature(if you can), and then start GW with your usual settings(not the lower ones, but what you'd normally run it in), alt-tab to desktop, and check temp again.

thanks guys, i moved my computer out of the cubby it was in on my desk, to the floor...and now it seems to be running A-OK. So it must've been heat related. Thanks so much
