Once again I appreciate the suggestions, but when I disabled the Intel graphics card my computer struggled mightily (multiple crashes). I'm using a laptop and assuming that whatever resources the NVidia card was using to run the display must have put too much stress on the system overall. I did go to the NVidia Control Center and set the game to run only using the high performance card. Unfortunately I'm still running into the crash report more often than not, but at least when it does load I'm able to knock out a few missions at a time.
