Severe crashes like that usually result from incompatibility with a device driver, particularly a display driver, the software associated with your system's graphics card or chipset.

Could you try this article: Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.

Is Pogo using Flash or Java? If it's Flash, you can disable the Flash plugin from using hardware acceleration as a workaround. Right-click the Flash media in the player and choose Settings, then the first mini-tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration.
