I haven't tried taking out the graphics card yet but I have noticed that when my game crashes there are 20-30 steam icons when you click on the tab that shows the running programs. I just reinstalled steam but haven't gotten a chance to test my game yet, I'll keep you posted.

I tried re-installing drivers and also reverting back to old drivers with no success. Would it make sense to remove my graphics card and try using integrated graphics?

I have a GTX 660 and an I7 4790k. It's pretty unbalanced but I used to be able to play now I can't.

The same thing has been happening to me for about 3 weeks. It usually crashes every 20-25 minutes and goes straight to my desktop without a crash message. I've scoured the internet for a solution but haven't found one so I decided to come here.
