One common error I see when I pull up event viewer is this error:
The backing-file for the real-time session "dfa2c640-651d-488d-a479-2fd7a7ca6e29" has reached its maximum size. As a result, new events will not be logged to this session until space becomes available. This error is often caused by starting a trace session in real-time mode without having any real-time consumers.
Some one had suggested going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot and increasing the DWORD value of the MaxFileSize key, but that didn't do the trick.
I also rolled back my Nvidia driver and tried tweaking various graphics settings but nothing seems to have any effect on the crashes. My CPU is overclocked, but I have been playing this game on PC for more than a year with no major issues. I want to rule everything else out before messing with the overclock.
