4) Try disabiing sound, my machine does not like playing some large Warband mods with my Soundblaster XFI enabled, I have to play using the motherboard onboard sound, just an example of how finicky the game can be.
Do you mean to disable sound in the configuration (when you start warband)? I tried it and played about 2 hours without crashing. Have tried many things and still it crashed like after 15-45 minutes. So this seems to work, but now without sound! So how do you play using the motherboard onboard sound?
If it does not crash with the sound disabled in the config file, (really a couple of hours is not conclusive), then it helps, but you have given no info at all on your PC, so I would not have a clue if you even had sound on your motherboard, let alone how to enable it
Anyway, follow this link, it was written for the Floris mod a few years ago, you need to scroll down to the moderators comment (monnikje), dated Jan 13th 2011 http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=148144.0
It is headed "crash", and if you are able to follow it then it might help.
Either way,
Play for longer to see if it really is OK,
Read the link
Read about your PC
And if you are really stuck, pay my expenses and I will come to Sweden and sort it for you I was there earlier this year, I could have popped in
