AstralWanderer's post in Random crashes followed by persistent graphic and control bugs was marked as the answer
Sorry for lack of followup but I've been busy elsewhere (BTW I'm not a developer or an Obsidiman - they get special banners under their usernames...) and I couldn't really make out much from the logs you uploaded (only one had the output_log.txt and the related error details seemed to suggest something odd with memory usage - PoE using 0 bytes which could have been an overheating issue).
If you haven't already done so, it may be worth installing some termperature monitoring software - for the CPU I'd suggest CoreTemp but don't download the "standard" installer with InstallQ adware - use these direct links instead for the 64-bit version (this is the version you want) or 32-bit version (for anyone running 32-bit Windows versions). For the GPU, I'd suggest MSI Afterburner. Both are free, both can provide temperature graphs (CoreTemp requires the Grapher plugin for this) and MSI Afterburner allows you to set up a fan profile so you can improve cooling by increasing fan speed as GPU temperature rises.

AstralWanderer's post in Played the game fine for about an hour now it crashes everytime I try and move to aother area was marked as the answer
Welcome to the forums Brumrah,
Your output_log reports the following error:
Crash!!!
Crash in winutils::ProcessInternalCrash(PEXCEPTION_POINTERS pExInfo) ERROR: SymInitialize, GetLastError: 'The operation completed successfully.' (Address: 00000000)
ERROR: SymGetSearchPath, GetLastError: 'The handle is invalid.' (Address: 00000000)
SymInit: Symbol-SearchPath: '', symOptions: 530, UserName: 'Jonathan'
This isn't the same as running out of memory, but given that you are running on a 32-bit version of Win7, it could be that PoE is hitting the 2GB per-process limit.
In that case, editing your boot.ini file to add /3GB /Userva=2900 flags as documented in Microsoft KB 316739: How to use the /userva switch with the /3GB switch... may help by increasing the per-process limit from 2048 to 2900KB (you will need to restart Windows for this change to take effect).
