Hi. I started playing DayZ standalone when the 0.33 update was released. All the time my DayZ has worked super fine, with no issues at all. But when the 0.43 update came out, my DayZ started, for some reason which I have no clue why, to crash. I could play for about 5-10 minutes before it crashed. When the game shut down a notice for DEP (data execution prevention) popped up that told me it had closed the program. I tried to disable DEP, and I succeded but it had no use, DayZ continued to crash.
A few days ago, I tried to reinstall my graphic drivers and I was able to update them. Afterwards, I tried to play DayZ again, and I was able to play for about 40 minutes without a crash.
It's not at any special event as it crashes, it just random happens after about 40 minutes.

As stated above; there isn't a specified thing that happens when the game crashes, it just happens. When the game crashes, the game freezes for about 5 seconds, then the screen turns black and a Windows notification comes up saying "DayZ has stopped working". After that I am able to click "Shut down program". Then nothing more happens.
I am able to once again start up DayZ and join a server without any issues, but I will crash once I've played for a while.
The only clue that I have got is this:
I think the problem is that my graphic drivers can't handle DayZ too well.
I tried to join a server and the first thing I did was to lay down and just stare in to the ground. In that way, not too many textures had to load and the graphic drivers didn't have to work so much. I was able to stay in that position forever. I had it going for one hour. After that I rised and started playing normally, and once again, after about 30-40 min, DayZ crashed.
All of this was made on the stable branch, never on the experimental branch.
