Well, the crashing problem does sound very similar to the crashing problems I ever encountered on the demo version of Titan Quest. Basically what I did is to follow the [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/859165-post4.html"]instructions[/url] I posted back at the Titan Quest forum. After doing so, the demo ran fine without any crashes at all. I recommend trying it out. :)

Also, you might want to try to get patches for the game to see if it solves your problems.

"the patch cannot be applied to this version of titan quest.
patvh requiers version: v1.08
current version is: UNKNOWN

I know you're talking about the full version of the game. What I'm saying is that since the method I used in the demo works, it will surely work for the full version as well and I can tell you that it does work as what I've seen in some other gaming forums that I visited when I was looking for solutions to a certain crash problem. Just give it a go. You'll know soon enough. ;) If it doesn't then I have no idea how to solve it.

Try to get the patch from the official website or from any gaming website that host the patch. Those will guarantee work.

Hope that it solves the problem. :) This is the first time I've heard of a power supply causing crashing problems on games. I ever encountered a problem on the power supply before but it's more to the power supply breaking down after a year in use. :(

Very odd indeed. I also forgot to mention that this method does work on most PCs but not all of them. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones? :confused:

guess u got lucky...but now i have a new problem..

i try to update my titan quest game but all the patches wont work...
(v1.01 to v1.08,1.11,1.15)

all of them r poping up an error that tells me that my version needs to be 1.01
to perform the update and they say my version is "UNKNOWN"
but i got in the game and checked at the lower right side of the main menu and its v1.01 !!!!

AFAIK a damaged power supply can cause instability of the computer, so that could explain your crashes.
Maybe a file got corrupted. Personally I'd replace the power supply, then reinstall Titan Quest and then try to update again.
