Crashing 5-10 minutes in

🙂 feel free to work your way through this , as you may have missed something small, but it does happen.. I would think .. Overlays.
Wow, that is a fantastic guide!
I went through it step by step. The only thing I'm not really able to do is roll back video drivers - I'm using the current stable AMD drivers (from July, I believe).
I think I may have made some headway - I logged in, went into a character, stood around for a while (long enough to be AFK several times) and no crash. Yesterday I would crash out after several minutes even just standing still.
Unfortunately...that was as good as it got. I ran my toon over to a vendor, and as soon as I right-clicked, crash to desktop.
So now I guess I need to look at logs. Can you advise on which logs may be beneficial? Or should I just proceed on to calling EA support?Thanks, Glad it helped.

The Logs that I would suggest that are worth providing, DXDIAG.log, Client_Settings for starters as you can atleast get into the game.
Thanks again for all the help.
I *think* I'm making progress. Poking around through Windows logs I did find a few issues with drivers - I'm now trying the AMD beta drivers (they just outright wouldn't work prior to my windows crash), I've also updated my sound card drivers just for the heck of it.
Also had a "generic PnP" crash - I do have a few generic drivers, but most likely culprit was keyboard, so got them updated. I'm play-testing right now to see if things are better, will check back in later and report.
