You can get a fresh copy of the newest driver here:
Please leave the Intel iGPU disabled, at least for now.
I will try this and do a couple hour play session. The crashes seem to happen completely at random so I'll return later today to give a further update!
Thank you for translating my dxdiag for me. 🙂
