Game crashes, I can't get past The courtesy call

[Ontarom]

I literally can't even get to the first save point. I've played through the introduction three times: the first and third crashed shortly after Wheatley gets the room going, the second time it crashed while he was doing the "manual override". It crashes to desktop, I get a message saying "windows is looking for a solution to the problem".

Any ideas on how to stop this from happening? I've tried lowering my settings, but it didn't help. I have no idea what can be causing this.
