Have you tried just running in 256 colors for a while, while not playing colonization?

Not really. Things really look weird in 256 if they weren't intended to be in it.

Check, even if you just leave the computer on and leave to go do something-- it could be a crash related to the resolution.

Running it on 256 does seem to work, but there I things I can't do with the computer like that.

Can you explain more what you're talking about?

I'm sure his idea is controlled experiments to figure out what conditions do and do not lead to a crash. You could experiment with other software using the high colors to see if that crashes too. You are trying to figure out whether it is something specifically with the video or specifically with that game and its video.
