Just as I was starting the orc battle just west of the grieving orc (western beach right near town), the game froze, and with it my entire system. The mouse pointer still moved around but no keys worked, and there was no response to ALT-TAB or CTL-ALT-DEL. I had to hit the reset button to reboot. Did NOT recur second time around, and it's not happened at other times. System used: up-to-date i5, stock fully updated Windows 7, essentially no other software except Kapersky.
