Does reducing texture quality settings help?

What sort of corruption are you getting? Also your system specs could be helpful.

A Radeon 200M and only 128MB of VRAM there... You don't exactly have a hardcore video system there. Make sure your resolution isnt over 800x600. Turn off anti-aliasing.

Entrenchment requires more processing power than original Sins, so as Annatar and burnout suggested, try playing with lower settings. Try playing with lowest possible settings, and see if it lasts longer than 10 minutes.

Yeah, the 10-minute thing prompted my suggestion.  Entrenchment is known to have some memory issues (even 2.5 isn't done on optimizing it) and most of the crashes, etc that result because of those issues are around 10 minutes in.

Yep, that was the issue then. As I said, the dev team still hasn't finished optimizing the expansion, but their goal is make sure it keeps the same system specs. So in beta 3 it's likely to get even better, and perhaps more for the final release.
