PA crashes whenever I get in a lobby weather it is a vs AI or multiplier... I use steam to launch the game, and in lobby I get the blue loading sign and if i click PA closes and then i get an error msg that says "pa.exe has stopped working" Here's my DxDiag...
On steam, check the file integrity to make sure your files are updated to the latest build. Edit: and disable any mods like the other guy mentioned.
Do you know you have 8Gb of Ram but are running 32-bit Windows andere thus can only use 3,5Gb of it. This also means that any single application can only use 2Gb which is not enough to play PA on a system bigger than a single radius 500 planet. Also you should look for an update for your video drivers they are over a month old and there most likely is a more recent version If I were you I would reinstall a new 64-bit windows built first because that will enable you to use all your ram
On 32 bit windows there is a way of removing the 2gb per app limit effectively increasing memory to the full 3.5 gb. That would probably help, @ssx can give more details I think. Ideally you should switch to a 64bit os though. If you dont have the cash for a new copy of windows, maybe try ubuntu (a free linux based os, all it'd cost you is some time and a chunk of free hdd space, and it will sit beside windows, giving you a choice which to load on start up).
