Map Crash

[Owen]

Ok, this is getting quite annoying now, so I'll do something about it. When I left 4 years ago I got a new laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad, it's really not that great. It is 4 years old now and been well overworked. I'm assuming thats the problem, but Im having a problem where my Freelancer is crashing in game after a few minutes of flying around or base idling and it particularly occurs when I open the map or player status icons. I'm not quite sure what to do, I'm assuming wait till Christmas when I get a brand new and better laptop, but I'm very eager to start roleplaying again.
