For some reason the crash is occurring in the NVIDIA drivers. Since the drivers are already the latest version, I would suspect some other program trying to get between PA and the graphics. Did you already check the list of incompatible software? https://wiki.palobby.com/wiki/Windows_Incompatible_Software And most importantly, the clean boot at the end of that list?
Not sure, the clean boot should have made the crashing stop if it was. You did try the clean boot, didn't you? Failing that, you could try doing a clean install of the drivers. That is, download the latest drivers from Nvidia again, remove the Nvidia drivers from the Software Panel, reboot the computer, install the newly downloaded driver, and reboot again.
so i reinstalled the drivers + reboot - nothing clear reinstall of the game, no mods - still nothing :/ predriveruptade the game worked fine now every game i start crashes aound 8 to 10 min in ....
You go here: http://www.geforce.com/drivers Then do a "Manual Driver Search" for your GTX 970 and it should give you a list of all the older versions as well.
so went and uninstalled the driver, installed the older version, both times rebooting - game stopped roughly 16 minutes in :/
I guess you don't know which driver you had before the game started crashing on you, eh? You might need to go back further. That is, to the 375 or 373 series.
