I just purchased a acer aspire 5610-4648 Intel core duo T2350 with Windows Vista home. About every 15mins of game play it just crashes, I'ev tried compatability mode and running as admin, but I still crash.
Anyone having similar problems, and what can I do about it.

Your notebook uses "integrated IntelĀ® Graphics Media Accelerator 950" which isn't good for gaming. It ranks 66 out of 72 in this review:

If you wanted a notebook for games, you should have invested in a "gaming notebook"

In response to the First reply, I mainly play World Of Warcraft, but I also play many other games. But in essence I play resource heavy apps.

Also I'm aware of the 950 Graphics Media Accelerator, but should that really cause this severe of a problem.

Also does anyone have any info on SP1, might this help me?
