Why does oblivion (and other games) keep crashing on my computer? I need help...?

Question

Ok...I play oblivion for roughly half an hour, then it crashes to the desktop without shutting off, so I hit the game thing in the taskbar, it pops back up, regardless of what I do next, it freezes. I cant save, I cant do anything, it just freezes. I open task manager and it doesnt say its stopped running. (Other games just freeze without going to the desktop)

Before anyone asks, I have updated my drivers for my card...in fact the drivers that came with my card were the newest ones. I have defragged, scan disked, restarted, everything...and it still freezes. I have nothing running except a fire wall, so its not taking all the resources.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200
M2n-e Asus motherboard
2 gigs corsair dual channel
Corsair 520 watt psu
Nvidia 7900 256mb pci-e

Everything that I can see, is running cool. The processor is running 27-34c when it runs oblivion on the highest mode.

I ran the DXdiag and everything passed. I checked all the drivers in manage folder and everythings fine...

In oblivion...this is how fast it freezes. I loaded right outside of the first visible dungeon when you start. It has froze 3 times since I entered...each time I get a little farther, then save...and it freezes so I have to load way back cause I dont have time to save every 2 seconds.

Have you checked to see if there were any game patches on the game publisher's website? I found just about every game I ever owned was issued a patch at some time.
