Well... it's not good? But it may not be all bad, either.
If -- and I stress IF -- it's not a random glitch, then the most likely culprits are (in this order) your physical memory and your hard disk. If it
continues to happen, the first thing to do would be to download the updater from PlayNC.com and 'reinstall'. You won't need to download everything
again, thankfully.
If that doesn't fix it... I'd check airflow in the case, especially around the memory sticks, and look at acquiring a memory testing utility.
Unfortunately, sometimes the best way to test memory is to stick to known-good units and swap them in until the problem goes away. Memory testers don't
often catch things, but they have the advantage of being cheap.
You could also try doing a full defrag of your hard drive (which may take several hours, be warned) and see if that clears things up, or if that plus
re-acquiring the launcher does the trick.
