    There is something odd with the drivers:
    You may want to try reinstalling them with the "latest" from the AMD website: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows 7 - 64

    Unfortunately for you, the card you are using is quite old and has been relegated to legacy status. So even with "latest", it still means your drivers will be two years old. A lot of bug fixes have occurred since then, any of which could be responsible for your crashes. But try it anyway, it might work.


    Also, you have very little memory. Try increasing the virtual memory and see if that helps.

    Yeah, I hope you can. It's actually just below the minimum system requirements for PA as your graphics card only has 256MB onboard memory. That means it will steal memory from your main memory when it runs out and thus leaves you with even less than 4GB...
