I have only two amateurish ideas as to what MIGHT be causing the crashes. 1) The crashes seem to take place when I am clicking something with my mouse on the movie screen. 2) I set my own virtual memory, instead of letting my system manage it. I have 6 GB of RAM, and I set my virtual memory to three times that (18432 MB).
Note: I was able to watch X-Men First Class after a fresh installs of Power DVD 11 Ultra and the 2211.53 build (which also required a new installation of Power DVD 9 Ultra, since I bought the upgrade version of Power DVD 11 Ultra). That was yesterday. Today, however, I have crashed my system twice while trying to watch Limitless. I am about to try watching Limitless again.
Here are my system components, followed by a dxdiag readout for my Win 7 64bit OS.

P.S. Make that three new Blu-ray movies. Power DVD 11 Ultra crashed on me about 9/10 of the way through The Adjustment Bureau. I finished watching it, without a glitch, by using Total Media 3 Platinum, which I also used to watch Limitless, though I did not try it with X-Men First Class
