Would you mind posting your sys specs, as well as telling us if there is any particular error that you are getting when it does crash. Any sys notice?

Numerous threads with hardware advice in here. Try searching the forum for "hardware". In particular, Oblivion seems really picky about video cards. e.g. it runs fine on my laptop, but gets exactly the same symptom as you on my Dell desktop w/2G RAM & GeForce4 MX420 (although I think it's the drivers for my pro audio interface that are the real culprit).

1.7 ghz will not run oblivion, I would suggest, rather than paying monthly fee's on WoW, to get a $150 AMD processor. Just go to an office depot or best buy and get one of those, get a good 2.0 ghz on AMD, and you should be good to go on that. Or if you prefer online ordering, it'll be a lot cheaper than 150 bucks.
