wonder why we're lacking memory on your setup. we had members already going over XBMC with valgrind to detect those and IIRC we fixed all of them. If someone have more hints to what could cause it please post it here.

Maybe there's a specific screen that causes the crashes faster?
That reminds me of a dirty region bug fixed a while ago, can you leave the animations on and try disabling dirty regions (via advancedsettings.xml), to see if it makes a difference?

There is a ton of directx errors in the log, and they all say D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY, so it's related to mem usage again.
Try going to a more 'out of the box' config, bit by bit, so you can find the skin/addon that causes the issue. It's not happening here.

I too am having this problem for about 2 weeks now, usually i minimize xbmc whilst listening to internet radio on it, and then browse the net while the music plays, there is no time limit, it just seems random, the xbmc tab at the bottom, will say xbmc.error, and then when i click on the tab i get the error that everyone else has been having.
I'm running transparency, with background animations, the pc has 2 gig of memory too, going to try switching to confluence for a day or two to see, but i do like having transparency on here!
Thanks

Same problem here. Loaded XBMC last night and when I woke up this morning memory usage was at approximately 2.2 GB.
It had crashed with the DBGHELP.DLL error.

ok for me - it seems to be the artwork downloader addon - xbmc was stable around 300 mb memory even windowed and minimized - 1st artwork downloader run memory usage shot up by 300 mb , next run another 300 mb
so if i have the downloader on a schedule of 1 run per hour I will hit 2gig off of memory usage within 6 hours and then crash
next to try if it does the same when not windowed and minimized

I had this issue after enabling the background effects / animations in Aeon Nox.
Salient facts from what I could see - it appears to be two different errors:
Error 1 - memory not released after Album Artwork finishes scraping / downloading files.
As people noted above; it appears to use up to 100MB per run that is then not released until XBMC is exited. In addition to this I find a massive downturn in responsiveness within XBMC after the add-on runs, up to 2-3 seconds per keypress. Checking CPU usage on W7 resource manager there's nothing untoward going on that I can see. Have played with the settings and can't find a work-around.
Error 2 - memory leak evident when XBMC is minimised and running background effects running Aeon Nox 3 skin.
Watching the memory usage, it appears to consume up to 4MB/second when minimised and when memory exhausts fills the logs with various memory/screen-related errors. This doesn't appear to cause errors when it's running in a screen, as the effect is still being rendered. Disabling the effect, or never minimising appears to be the only work-around.

I am not seeing the memory leak on Aeon Nox (git) V3 latest update even when minimized
I am deffo getting high unreleased memory usage with Artwork Downloader Add On even with latest Confluence - mine goes up by 300MB each time it runs
with debugging on - the XMBC memory usage data screen never increase even though the windows task manager shows it as using Gigs of the stuff
