[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1281299, member: 18896"] Previous crash indicates your videocard has issues at BIOS, driver, or chipset level. Look into fixing that, or if you're already at the latest then try tweaking the delays before artwork is processed. Config > Help/About > Advanced Settings > forgot which one, so look through all of them for the obvious one regarding delay before artwork is shown, think default is like 250ms, so try 500ms, etc. However, most likely your issue is from corrupt artwork.
