Just got myself a nice new graphic card and everything went fine until I started CoH first I had a poor frame rate, but doing some minor tweaking to the settings on the card (as adviced in this thread: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat....0#Post10532683) frame rate cleared right up.

But now I am crashing after a few minutes of play, what I done to try and fix this was uninstall and reinstalled the graphic driver and reinstall CoH.

The error in question looks like this (two samples):

Sample 1:

Assertion failed

Sample 2:

Seeing as dxdiag is none to popular on the US forum for posting here I used the suggested CoH Helper for the info:
