Small update. I reinstalled the game cleanly on my SSD (instead of having it sit on my old HDD) and it's been running better, but not quite without flaw. I don't have my game freeze up anymore, and I also fixed some weird audio glitches I'd get by intalling OpenGL. So yeah, these two things have helped make the game run longer.
The issue I have now though, is an error in my log that keeps cropping up every once in a while. Per request, I went ahead and did a clean install of the latest nvidia drivers but it didn't change much of anything. As far as I'm aware, there's still something making the game lock up and provoke a kernel exception.
