Your sound card may be a Soundmax since its a dimension that you got. Dell usually have a custom 'My Dell' program installed that tells you exactly what's in your PC.

Try running the game with sound disabled (not muted) and see if it helps, if not then it ain't your card. Proceed then to video testing and make sure your desktop resolution is set to 32 bit! Check out the 'Catalyst' drivers on the ATI website. It is not an uncommon complaint for an ATI owner to experience early freezing at startup...sounds like a rendering conflict to me and I have seen it quite a bit with these cards.

P.s. I trust by 'slightly tweaked' you don't mean overclocking...
