If Old Layout functions
and 3D/Panel does not
(without .gnubgautorc gnubg starts with 2D),
I don't think the graphics card is the problem.
(anyone else: correct me when I am wrong?)

The most recent 3D package for Win32
( http://users.skynet.be/bk228456/board3Dfiles.exe )
has /textures, boards.xml and textures.txt.

gnubg.gtkrc is the only other file I know of, causing problems from 
time to time.
Rename it to something else (e.g. gnubg_old.gtkrc) and see if gnubg 
still crashes?
