According to this post, EA knows there is a geforce problem and is working
on it. No known fix as of yet.

The last - desperate - thing I tried was to disable sidebanding in the video
BIOS - and *that* did it for me - not a single lock up since then! ;o)
Good luck!

It's an ASUS AGP-V3800TNT2 and if I go to:
http://www.asus.com/Products/Addon/Vga/asuse/enthusiast_drv.htm
I can download a program called "V3800 BIOS Flash program (Ver. 2.5.13a)".
When I run this program it asks if I want to enable or disable sideband -
and then it flashes the Video BIOS with these settings.
Try a search for "sideband" on your videocard manufactures homepage.
