This is similar to a thread I saw earlier, but now I need help. So I'm on my new computer, 2+ GB RAM (forgot exact specs) and a 3Ghz processor, and I'm trying to embark on this one sweet spot, but whenever I embark (after the preparing for the journey carefully screen), the game freezes, and will not respond. I am trying again, this is the 7th try, why is it doing this? (I run windows 7) This computer can should handle DF well (it has 80 fps with 7 dwarves, 50-60 with 50 dwarves).

EDIT: I'm trying to embark on my linux computer, but it is also having the same problem, and my linux computer has NEVER had a problem embarking... Isn't glitchy embarking a sign of a glitched area?

It might be indicative of a glitched embark, but I don't actually have any experience with that.  Have you tried leaving it running over-night to see if it was simply taking a really long time rather than truly frozen?

[Daveorock]

I could only leave it running overnight on my linux computer, but that's what I'll do, I don't like it when embarks beat me (especially when I haven't even embarked yet). I can't leave it running on the win7 computer though, because after about 1-5 minutes of not responding, it crashes and closes.

EDIT: I'm going to try a different spot in the world and see if it embarks.

EDITEDIT: It's definitely a glitched location, more specifically, the volcano itself is glitched somehow. After figuring out the whole world isn't glitched, and (from different locations of spots) I figured the volcano is the glitched part. Although IK this is a glitched area because my linux computer will not load an area if it is glitched (when I try other glitched maps (like the Candy space elevator) the exact same thing happens that is now happening).
