CTD during battle in defence of siege

I have searched the forum and seem to be alone in this problem. I have had repetive CTD while repulsing a siege attack. This happen about ten seasons ago also in a different town. I solved that problem by replaying the battle and changing tactics, wall defence to charging out etc. This time after 5 one hour battles it still crashes always at different times during battle. I dont want to auto resolve as I loose if I do, if I win on the battle map (I am 1500 Casse against 5000 Romans) I should get a heroic victory and I would win if it didnt CTD. Yes I have EB1.1 with all the patches, maximzed stability etc.
I have a Core2Duo and 4GB RAM 8800 so I dont think I am stressing the comp.
Does anyone have a idea for solution?

I see I forgot this in the frequent issues. I've typed it up there now.

In reference to the Frequent Issues I know my memory and hard drive are good so I will discard the latest drivers and load an older version, I will report back.

A couple of failed games later and using an older driver doesnt help and the three Roman generals are not heirs or faction leaders (killing both at once issue). Never mind I just start a new campaign.
Or any other possible solutions?

I don't know which graphics card you have, but this might help:

By the way, how come you are certain about your memory and hard drive?

I have a Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GT. The machine is only two months old and I did bench testing, stress test etc and Mem test when I got it. I havent had a problem with the machine but I did C drive an error check and Mem test again after your suggestion: no problems.
How else do I check my hard drive and memory.

No, then it's okay. That is, it's not okay as you still have a problem, but the components seem to be okay.

I think you should probably just auto_win this as I don't know anything more you can check. The command is auto_win attacker or auto_win defender depending on which side you're on at the moment.

Ok I found out the procedure to auto win but I have no joy.
I press the ~ key and get the semi opaque grey band "console"
I type this in:
auto_win defender
press enter (with this gap, under score and spelling), but I get an unrecognised command error. I tried process_cq and it worked. So what is the correct text and process required for an auto win.

It seems correct to me. Please try again.
