Globe view crashes my machine

[travis555]

Here's what happens:

Any time I zoom out to a global view or click "What's the Big Picture" (which I assume shows a global view), my machine immediately reboots, no messages, no blue screen.

Here is a description of my machine:
Windows XP SP 2
Custom Built with
MSI K8N Neo4 (nforce 4) motherboard
Athlon 64 3000+ Venice
1GB Corsair Value Ram
MSI Radeon x800 128mb video card
80gb Hitachi Hard Drive
Samsung DVD/RW Drive
17" LCD Monitor made by Batesias.

Does anyone else have this problem?
Any idea for a solution?

Things I've tried that haven't worked
1) Downloading latest driver from ATI
2) Turning Globe graphics quality to low, all graphics qualities to low, changing to a lower resolution.

Thanks!

So far I've found out:
1) It may be that the newer drivers are actually the problem, I will try the old ones (like 6 months old)
2) Turns out it has nothing to do with viewing the global map, it just happened coincidentally when I did that the first few times. The game actually crashes the computer (makes it restart) seemingly randomly. The only commonality I've found is that it happens when I click on something or do something, and happens very quickly afterwards (no grinding/thinking, just boom).

Any further thoughts?

Thanks!

Couldd you post which driver does and doesn't work? Never know it helps someone else.

Older drivers didn't change anything, crashed like 10 minutes after boot. This good news is that after I updated the drivers back to the new ones, I just ran it without problems for about 2 hours. Maybe it took care of itself?

Turns out it was my CPU overclocking. Turned it down to 5%, it works now.
