Another possibility is that since the problem is time-related, it's possible that some other program thinks it should be polling data every so often, and uses the same memory area as BG1. You might check to see what background programs are running on your computer. Anti-virus programs are notorious in this regard. Even screensavers can cause problems. I'd suggest disabling them while playing.
