OK, I'll try shadows on low as well.

Doesn't have to be low Syd, just one click down from whatever it's set at, at the moment.

Thanks Ade. Mark, let us know how you get on please.

I also found that a dedicated sound card stopped those horrible screechy crashes.

Last night I had some trouble with multicoloured pixels which I now attribute to heat, so cooling or lowering graphic settings would have helped me with that.

Look at post #8 here Syd and this might help out just a bit .

I have a very old system that is GTL challenged at times. As Matt and Goldtop have said I do think that heat can be an issue with GTL as well. During a race I always use to get a loss of frame rate around the halfway to 3/4 point until I put a high quality copper heat sink fan combo on my graphics card. Never had the problem after the new heat sink .

Well, I was trying one thing at a time, and GTL was still crashing. So I tried it all at once, underclocked the card, set fan to 80%, set settings to low, shadows to off and plr settings to those that Navin pointed me to. An I was able to do 12 laps at Lime Rock before stopping on my own. So it seems problem is somewhere in there, and now I'll experiment with setting to see how much more performance I can get back.
Thanks to all for the help.

I had a similar problem to this some months ago. Make sure your power setting is set to high performance in Win 7. With my PC it seemed to go into sleep / power saving mode ignoring the fact that GTL was running. Hope this helps I know how frustrating it can be.
