I see alot of threads started by either people who has their game crash to desktop (CTD) or hard crash (HC, PC lockup needing reboot). Do you guys think these two are the result of the same issue?

I'm asking because the threads started on these two topics are mingled up (maybe by people who don't know the difference between a CTD or HC)... and subsecuently i've seen threads of these two issues be merged into one by administrators.

Thats all good if they are the result of the same issue... but if they're not... couldn't that mean that either one might be left out in a coming patch?
