Game makes my GPU Drivers crash

[adamam]

everytime I play this game, and it's only this game, around every 10 minutes or so the game locks up, and when I alt tab out of the game, I get a message saying my drivers crashed but have been sucesffuly restored.

Like I said, it's only this game. Anyone else having this issue, how do I fix it?

Yes the whole log. BTW does it look like a Popup lower right like this for example?

Had to use pastebin due to character limit

And yes, when the game locks up and freezes, I alt tab and see a pop up like that

Sorry but this doesn't really solve my issue, am I supposed to play the beta version instead?
and this issue i'm having isn't really rare, it happens every 5-10 minutes.

Thanks for the help in advance

update you graphic card drivers to latest whql or beta,and make graphic card cooling fan to 100% fan when run game.

Phant0m, Den didn't mean to refer to the first post in that thread, but to the subsequent discussion about drivers that followed below.

I'll do what He said.....I came alot to that problem before and I doubt the fault is the game. However the possiblity in relating to that (Just Saying) As i came across this the whole time at customers locally, Problem can relate to a Hardware Failure on the Graphic Card itself, Or Driver Issue, Sometimes the latest driver can cause problems so you have to Downgrade to the previous Driver you have install, Other than That IFFFFFFFF it is HardWare Related what I usually do is Test the Graphic Card. For High Temp Problems, If the Fan not Improving automatically while the Graphic Card Temp is getting Hotter, If Artifacts shows on the screen then that means Power Supply problems not giving the Graphic Card good amount of Voltage etc etc.
Some Graphic Cards come with a Benchmark Utility to Diagnostic Test on ur Graphic Card.

How about on the OS side of the error logs? Do you get anything from that?

e: In event logs, anything there?

Renderer: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series

It's a driver error. Try to install 13.1 and the freezing problem is gone.

Played about 5 minutes, then my AMD driver crashed, making the game freeze. Could continue after a while though
Drivers are all up to date etc.
