May be your graphics card is not supporting all the graphics commands of the Game, Update the card driver first with latest version.
You can disable error reporting :
Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Error Reporting > Check "DISABLE ERROR REPORTING"
Check your game now, and have fun
regards,
:)

Looks like a memory leak... most of the responses seems fine.. just check if the game has a patch for the graphic card you are using in addition to some of the clean up and driver updates etc..mentioned in the previous mgs

I used to think it was the wireless modem I had. Because, there would be times when I wouldn't be able to do any thing online, and the shortcut on my desktop would say I have an Excellent Connection. Actually, what it meant was, I have a great connection to my wireless modem and the bars, in the Wireless Network Connection box, would be all full and green! The wireless monitor program would say "You are connect to the modem, but not associated with Internet" or something like that. It's happened to me so many times, I don't think you can avoid it. It always comes back. There's a good chance, it's not your computers. Go Figure!

It could be a few things. The game could be programmed badly, in which case, you can do nothing; your graphics card is bad, in which case you replace it, or your drivers have a bug. First, try updating the drivers (go to the card manufacturers website.) Then try updating the libraries supporting the game (directX, OpenGL, or whatev.) Lastly, try a different graphics card.

I would try to update your graphic card's drivers. Go to Start > Right click on "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > Display adapters.
Your Graphic card's name will be shown. Now right-click on it and select "Update drivers".

Looks like your graphics card is overheating. Check the fan on the card. If there is no fan then you might want to check if the heat sink has not come off. Hopefully the heat has not already damaged the card yet. If it has, then I guess you might want to buy a new one.

Click on the error report and read it. It sounds like you don't have enough memory available and need to upgrade or select games that hog less memory!

check your driver in control panel --> system --> hardware tab --> device manager. to see if there is any error.
uninstall the graphic driver, restart, install the driver again
