Another form of crashing Could be from running 1080p extreme and chucking too many fps at your CPU and your cpu cant keep up bottlenecks chokes and kills off forza .exe (which just looks like a Crash to Desktop with no errors

workaround would be to cap your fps

Best to monitor your individual CPU AND GPU temps and utilization at time of crash

cause overheating will cause a crash
and utilization can tell you what forza is really doing

System RAM is quite high in this game too (For people crashing that could be an outdated unstable bios firmware people are using on their individual motherboards ) or unstable clock speeds of ram sticks or XMP wasnt enabled

Even CPU & GPU Unstable Overclocks can result in crashing

The Troubleshooting list is endless
