I've been getting crashes recently too. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been before, it's just started in the last few weeks. Sometimes it will just crash to desktop and I'll get an error, other times it will just give me a blank screen with sound loop and I'll have to hard reset. Have you tried turning AA/AF and HDR off? Memtest86 results? Bios update? All driver updates? It's kinda hard to test as you have to wait for it to crash and then tick it off the list, but I'm hoping it's a microsoft problem and they'll fix it magically for us.
first off if you dont' have the 2.12 patch your game will crash randomly second try reinstalling empires, i've heard many people stating that helped
