SoA Script Error Message

I've been playing BG2 for a while now, and I'm working on the Jaheira/Haer'Dalis quests when I encounter an error message during a small-time battle which reads:

An assertion failed in ChDataTypes.cpp at line number 250

Then, I get kicked out of the game and I have to reopen the game. I don't know what to make of this, and is there a way to fix it? I just got a newer computer with XP, a much faster processor, and a TON of memory. So I know the processor speed and the memory are not issues. Any suggestions?

Hmm...
How new is your computer? Did you have this problem with your previous machine?
I'm wondering if maybe it's a driver compatibility issue or something..
The serious techies here should know more though.

And, probably a redundant question, but just to eliminate possibilities, do you have the final official patch and either the Baldurdash or Gibberlings 3 fix pack?
Often these will help solve a lot of bugs.

Also, since it sounds like it might be a scripting (rather than driver) issue, do you have any mods installed?

The computer itself is only a year and a half old...I completely 'flattened' the hard drive before I reinstalled the recovery discs. So, there was absolutely nothing but the original software on it when I actually started putting my stuff on it.

It's an Emachine with an AMD 2200+ Athlon processor (1.8GB), 256MB DDR, 60BG hard drive.

I don't understand it though...why would it let me play this far into the game before this error message came up?

And as far as the patches/fixes go, I used the one you gave me the link to about 3 years ago...
