Well, I had been having BSODs and freezes (requiring reset button) ever since I installed this game around a week ago. This happened mostly when in game but sometimes in the Windows GUI home. I tried many things like 3rd party software and settings recommended in these forums but it actually got worse.

The solution for me was... DON'T USE FULL-SCREEN.

"Windowed Full Screen" works beautifully and I can't tell the difference!

Steps:

1. Settings
2. Change to window or window full screen
3. Save

That is what did it for me. I hope someone is helped by this. Now let me share my system specs from dxdiag.

Update your vid driver, might help out since you're BSODing in Windows as well. A bad driver install caused some of my more recent BSODs.

Cleaning out the case may also help you, since uneven cooling can mess with the internal system clocks and cause timing errors in your hardware (which lead to BSODs)
