No, but it should specify the problem,
Go to the Rtw's properties and in the target line make sure it looks like this.
"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err

Yeah, just add it in and then click apply.
Run the game like you normally would then when it crashes it should tell you why.

Make sure it looks exactly how I posted it, then you should simply click apply then ok.
Have you done any modding? At all?

I got mine from there too. I didn't have any problems.
I suggest you reinstall.
Did you get the Gold Version?
