Crashes after about 5-10 mins.

I'm playing the game fine without any lag, no slow down it runs just fine...but about 5-10 mins into playing the screens cuts to this blue screen and the screens reads:


________________________________________________
Hardware malfunction
Please contact hardware vendor
****parity check/**memory parity error**
The system has halted.
_________________________________________________



The memory parity worries me the most....I meet all minimum requirments...the only thing I think you should know is my RAm which is about 358 or 398 one of those...anyways, it still exceeds the minumum of 256. Someone please help, and Im on Win2000, the game has a lot to offer and I'd hate to miss out.

This would seem to indicate a hardware issue with your memory. If you have more then one chip, one chip may be malfunctioning or incompatible with the other. Your only option is probably replacement. If this is DDR or DDR2 you might try a heatsink unit on your ram chips if they do not already have them.
