I've experienced similar problems myself with Skip Presenting Duplicate Frames off and dual core on. Not sure why it's this broken or what to do about it, though...

it is strange because the game doesnt stop working it just freezes on a random frame until you use frame advance then start playing again.

its completely random just play for 20min or so and you may get a crash in that timeframe if not sooner
