@HowEmbarraSim The BlueScreen error at least really does need to be addressed, regardless of whether you can play properly for a while. Since it referenced the page file, it's possible that the game crashes after a couple hours because that's how long it takes for the page file to be used. You have enough memory that the game shouldn't need to page at all, but I don't know what else you're doing while you play.
To that end, it's a good idea to run MemTest86. It's more thorough than the built-in Windows memory test, although you will need a USB stick you don't mind erasing. You can get it here (the free version is fine):

And this is a good guide to using it:

There are also a number of Windows-related errors in your dxdiag. So to be thorough, it's a good idea to run a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files. Here's how:
- Hit Windows key-X
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
- Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
- Post the message you receive here
I ran the memtest and got some errors indication a problem with the RAM sticks (2 Errors on #7). I took all but one out and then tested adding another one each time and the errors went away.
I also ran both scans. Initially I got a message saying some issues had been found on corrected.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.
Now I'm not getting any error message. Unfortunately now my game/computer is freezing after about 30 mins. I'm attaching the most recent dxdiag file.
