Resolution you're running at;
What graphic settings level have you enabled?

Are all drivers & BIOS up to date?

Have you tried the simple step of uninstalling and reinstalling the games?

Probably has been resolved but in case someone else end up with a similar problem.

Open your registry editor (Win+R) then type Regedit.

In the left pane goto the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

In the right hand side right click,

add > new DWORD32

Name the new DWORD TdrLevel

rightclick on the Tdrlevel and Modify it. Look for the Base selection and switch it to Hexadecimal and keep the value at 0.

This has fixed many of my crashing problems. In short what it does is telling windows what to do if it detects a Graphical problem. 0 says that it should not recover so your system will simply crash out completely if it detects a Graphics error. I am not sure about the other settings but there is a Tdrdelay that can be added to give it a recovery time. You can get more information for it by Googling "TdrLevel registry workaround". It will explain the various settings in there, I just kept to 0 because a crash is a crash and it will just lag my game if it tries to recover the whole time. The 0 setting crashes your game in extreme conditions only, seems to be only crashing in huge errors (Touch wood has not crashed on me since I did the Tdrlevel change). It just made a huge change on my own system with regards to game crashes.
