Repeating Game Crash at Turn 287

Similar to what Larsenex reported: On Turn 287, the game is crashing as soon as I try to activate any ship. I have reloaded the game seven times and clicked on different ships and no matter what, it crashes.

I have not seen nor experienced this issue. I'm on turn 318 and have been fine with only one BSOD with an already known issue.

I normally keep my system specs in my sig but no sigs allowed here it seems. Specs:

P8Z68 Deluxe, i7 2700k @4.7GHz, EVGA GTX570HD 337.88s, 16gb DDR3 2130, 1000W PS, Onboard sound, 32" Bravia XBR, Win7Pro64

An older machine now but it still plays everything I throw at it just fine.

Having just had a whole bunch of crashes myself and partially solved them, I have to ask:

What graphics card are you using and what driver level.

I just backed off a beta level driver and saw a reduction in the number of crashes I was getting. I have a GeForce GT 640 with 12G display memory and was on the latest beta driver. I am now on driver level 337.88.

More questions -- could the number of ships you have be a factor? What size galaxy are you playing? Is this early or late in the game?

And most importantly,, have you reported it as directed in the support FAQ?

Alienware X51_R2
Video Driver is up to date (GeForce 337.88)
GeForce GTX 760
Windows 7 Home Premium
16 GB RAM
Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3.40 GHz

Yes, I provided the debug, crash zip file, and saved game to Stardock Support.

I was on a large map. Had about 50 ships I'd guess, all of them from the standard templates (though I did change components) because I didn't want to stress the game on the first play through. Mid-game (I still had a few planets left to colonize). I did notice that the map scroll was "stuttering" starting maybe 20 turns before the crash.

BTW, what is the cheat to unlock all the techs? I still have to test the new shipyard.
