Perhaps. Your motherboard has a VIA chipset. My Biostar M7VIP (V1.0) has a VIA chipset and I get the same thing. I contacted EA Games regarding NFS Underground crashing and they told me that the only thing that looked like a problem in the Dxdiag.txt I sent them was the chipset on my motherboard.
They suggested downloading the VIA Hyperion 4 in 1 driver pack and running that. It made things better, but it still kept crashing so I've replaced my motherboard with an Abit NF7-s v2.0, which has an Nvidia Nforce2 chipset.

Don't look at the manufacturer of the board so much. It's the chipset that counts mostly.
