    If your 8600M is overclocked, that would be it.

    Otherwise, it sounds like a driver issue.

    What game settings do you have it on?

    Sometimes this occurs when you have all the settings and resolution jacked up. Try toning down the settings and see if you have the same problems

    Have you tried visiting ubisoft's website and downloading all of the newest drivers/patches/updates for the game?

    either that or register your product and the downloads should happen automatically when you start the game

    A couple things that hopefully fix your problems:

    1. There are 6 patches released for the game. If you don't have those it might help. I think you can just DL v1.6 and it has all of them. Also get the map pack (it's free).

    2. I have a desktop and 8800gts. The most recent driver that works for me is 163.75. So yeah, that's messed up.

    3. Ubisoft hasn't really supported the game well and there are a lot of mulitplayer bugs still floating around. Hence the small community online. I get random crashes for no reason as does basically everyone else. Recently, the servers have been crashing alot.

    Good luck and keep us updated.

    That is a shame. I play online for the xbox 360 and it is an awesome game to play. I have recenty switched to cod4, but this was it for 2-3 hours a night for a few months.
