When is the last time you ran memtest86+ (memtest.org)
on your memory ? (2 full passes error free is enough.)
I'd also try the Prime95 (mersenne.org) torture test option
while in Windows (or Linux even). It is also a good test that
the memory and CPU are good, even though Prime95 cannot
test every byte of the memory like memtest86+ can.
If you want to save time, just try Prime95, because it will be
testing the same chunk of memory that Oblivion was using. Use
both tests for more complete coverage.
If the error message mentioned an "nv" driver, that would make
a graphics problem more likely. If the error is in the application
itself, I'd want to test my memory just to eliminate that as
the source of the problem. As with all software, it could
also be a problem with Oblivion itself :-)
