You are not the only one with that problem...
The crash ends in a gray/black screen and a windows popup asking you for a force quit.

Seems that most of the time is related to the nvwgf2umx.dll file so... is an nvidia driver problem.
I don't know if your graphic card is from nvidia too...

You can try something to check if that happens because of a stop and recovery in your graphic card...

If you use a Windows 64bit OS write this text in a .txt file and then rename the extension to .reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]

"TdrDelay"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

If you use a Windows 32bit OS write this text in a .txt file and then rename te extension to .reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]

"TdrDelay"=dword:00000000

 

After opening the .reg file your going to be prompted to include a new entry in your registry.
That gives your OS a few seconds more to recover before crashing to the desktop.


Another thing that can make problems is the Discord Overlay as I observed the crashing reports are mitigated when I does not use it.
Are you using Discord?
