I almost hate to admit it, but the problem may have been with my desktop all along. As it happened, my desktop liquid cooling system started deteriorating around the time that I started playing AJE about two months ago. In any event I should have known that hard crashes/lockups/blue screens are usually indicative of a hardware problem, not a software one. Anyway, I look forward to playing a hopefully stable AJE once I get my gaming rig back from the service shop.
