Everytime i try to enter hoarfrost my computer gets bugged out and shuts down but when i enter Priar nothing like this happens :|.
I already tried the inference thing. I turned it on just before i entered the Dungeon but my computer still crashed when it was almost done loading the Dungeon(Which it always does) Anyone have a fix for this problem? Also tried reinstalling but it still crashed my computer.

Yes. The best solution is to just give up with the Hoarfrost missions.
:D

If your computer is literally shutting down, you most likely have a hardware problem.
So.. is it rebooting with a blue screen? Is it shutting down completely so you have to power it back on? Or is it just the game crashing?

Then you most likely have a hardware problem, although it could be a faulty device driver.
RAM is typically the first thing to check. There are a lot of free memory testing programs out there. They can take quite some time to fully test your RAM.
If you have multiple sticks of RAM in your system, I'd simply remove one and see if you still have the problem. If the problem goes away, that stick is bad. If not, replace that stick and remover another, repeating until you find the culprit or you've checked them all.
Hopefully we're talking about a desktop system.

Before I post instructions:
First off, remove the side of your case and make sure there's multiple sticks of RAM. If there's only one, then there's no point in doing this unless you have a spare stick of RAM sitting around.
Also, check if there is a power switch on the back of your power supply. The instructions will vary depending on that.

Listing computer status/your settings might be useful.
For the longest time I couldn't run the prologue intro scene with the white spider climbing the church without crashing.
I lowered my settings and it ran fine, and I was able to raise them back up again after it finished.

I went to system in control panel and it said
(My Computer is a Window Vista Btw)
Manufacturer: Dell
Model: Inspiron 530
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz

Hope this helps :<

Then your best bet may be to convince your Mom that the computer need repairs. Unfortunately, gaming stresses the system more than facebook so it might be stable as far as she is concerned.
You might try to find a local computer shop and see if they'll install RAM for free if you purchase it from them. Most won't do this but a smallish friendly place just might if you ask nicely. You should be able to get 4GB of DDR2 RAM for $60 or so.
Good luck.

Sounds like your computer is running out of ram when it tries to load the dungeon.
you are on vista, and the min requirements on XP are 512mb of ram It is usually double for vista/Win7
Things that can help without spending money:
Close as many programs as you can before running the game. IM Clients, web browser, etc.
Play full screen and not window.
Lower your in-game graphics settings in game.
Set everything to lowest, and see if it still crashes
