It could be the video card if the video is locking up right before the screen goes black. Did the problem go away when you lowered your video settings?
Does this happen in any other games? Have you updated your video drivers and directX?
Prices for cards vary a great deal. As cheap as $40 and as much as $600. If you have a Core2Duo PC I imagine you have a PCI-express slot available so finding a card is easy.
Installing a card is very easy but as with anything things can go wrong. Make sure you get a video card that can run with your current power supply before buying anything.

Well, that's an integrated chip. They are simply not designed for playing games. Your best bet is to fork out $100 or so and buy a proper graphics card (someone who has actually been following the latest development should give more detail here). You should easily be able to get 30 fps at a typical full-screen resolution like 1440x900 or 1680x1050 with it.
