I'll check your system information and try to find out what wrong.

My game also crashed on loading map, but i installed 680 mb of VGA drivers, and it worked.

So If your drivers are fully updated, maybe ur graphics cant handle the game :/

This is needy game, can be hard work for ur PC, try lowering Graphics Perphormance in Game's Menu

I realise that, but I had same problem, and it was outdated drivers on my 1GB VGA.
(8mb System, and processor Intel i-5 2500k)
Now it works almost perfectly, but everything is set on Medium level for graphics in Game Menu.

If I have had put everything on 'High' I think my PC would die >.<

Sorry for spam, but I was sure my drivers were up-to-date. I was pretty much sure, in the matter of fact.

But I accidently installed Driver's Updater software, that shows what drivers are obsolete.
All my drivers were like ancient.

And using Driver's Updater software I saw what my PC is missing, and I downloaded all those files/drivers manualy, since Driver's Updater software of any publisher must be payed.
Manualy downloading 1 by 1 is the best way, not to pay anything. But using Driver Updater software to show me what I need to download. Since in windows there is no possible way to see that without these little neat Third Party Programs.

I hope this help

I really not recommend to use any driver update software except one AMD/Intel/Nvidia provide.

Yeah your PC is totally fine. So would be helpful if you can provide your game logs:

If you have more than one put them into ZIP and upload them all.

Any chance you have "Threaded Optimization" enabled in your Nvidia Control Panel?
If yes try to disable it because crash occur in Nvidia driver thread and it's one of possible reasons.

It's won't affect most of other games as "Threaded Optimization" it's OpenGL-only option.
