What I've noticed about this crash, which a lot of people get is that it seems to happen when PS2 hits 4GB of memory used. It gets really laggy for a while, with screen tears and stutters, then it will crash to desktop and disappear. Looking at my memory usage with process explorer, I can see that my system was right at 7.2GB out of 16GB total. Is this because PS2 can only use 4GB of memory? Can't PS2 keep memory usage below the limit that it will crash at? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653 use process explorer to monitor your system memory, GPU memory usage while in game. You should notice the crash right when PS2 hits 4GB.
