Underclocking my GPU by -100 mhz fixed the issue. Heh.
http://hastebin.com/pideneviro.tex is my DxDiag for you.
It's a GEFORCE GTX 970.
Reliability monitor brings back the following:
Video hardware error (this is every driver crash or screen flickering after a driver crash)
Windows was not properly shut down (this was the actual computer freeze
The technical details of the video hardware error are:

I have the newest drivers, I've tried a multitude of other drivers as well.
Use http://www.hwinfo.com/ to monitor CPU and GPU temps
Can you disable the Name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 still active in the system in case its conflicting
117 is TDR Timeout
What have you tried so far ? or is below everything ?
Use DDU initially to remove all trace of the video drivers
Then when you install the latest drivers , select custom and tick clean install
There is this but I don't consider it a fix but it may reduce the instances for now
I've done everything that you've said there already, minus the disabling the integrated card but since your post I've also done that and continue to experience crashes.
My GPU temp and CPU temp is fine overall, just the load for some reason on the CPU increases to 100% while loading into the fleet or some zones/in cutscenes, etc.
Overall the biggest issue is just that driver crashing and whatever effect its going to have on my computer long term.
Not really sure what else I can do at this point as I just did a clean driver install yesterday so .. meh.
Just to confirm , you have tried an older NVidia Driver ?
Have you done a game repair ? and deleted the games cache called diskcachearena etc
Frustrating I know
Yeah. I deleted the bitraider folder and all the things you've named and I've done a full repair, I've uninstalled and redownloaded the game with a fresh install.
I think, possibly, underclocking the card would help but I'm completely clueless as to what to do in this instance for this game.
I should RMA the card but I'm thinking it's SWTOR's programming in general with this specific card since it doesn't do this with any other game and I play a lot of other games that are far graphically superior and computer resource-hogging than SWTOR is.
