We nearly have the exact same specs on everything and I'm having the same issue as you :\

I have the same video card except running windows 8.1 and am having the same probem. Any solutions found?

I Did Play the game in windowed mode. seemed to fix the problem. not sure if any updates have come out since then so you wouldn't have to use windowed mode.

I have tried:
-Windowed Mode
-Validating my game cache (many times)
-Changing my language and re-validating
-2 re-installs
-turning off Vsync
-various combinatinos of referesh rate, resolution, and rendering quality
-I have verfied that my RAM and GPU temps are fine so no mermory leaks

The only thing that has worked was installing it on my Surface tablet. It was horrendously laggy, but it played at least.

I have the same issue. Unexpectedly crashes in random places, usually during gameplay. Almost 100% reproducibilty when minimizing the game (for example, via ctrl+alt+del and choosing task manager). Sometimes Windows can't reboot cleanly - need to press shift during booting, otherwise will stuck during loading at logo screen.

Windows 8.1 + latest Nvidia drivers (350.12)

MB: Evga X99 Micro
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K
GFX: 2 x Asus GTX 970-DC2OC-4GD5-BLACK (SLI)
RAM: Kingston HyperX XMP Predator DDR4 3000 4x4 GB
SSD: Samsung 850 PRO 256GB (System)
HDD: WD Black Desktop 4TB (Steam Library)

Playing at 1920x1080 at Ultra video settings.

UPDATE:

Ok, I've find out what was the problem. Alien: Isolation was first played game after installation of 2 x GTX 970 graphic cards. After I run another game and computer restarted, I realized that I have an issue with my PC in hardware or software. The first thing I did - I went into Computer Management and then into Event Viewer, just to check if Windows has provided some logs. And voila:

"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
Source: "Kernel-Power"
Level: "Critical"

After looking into the wiring of my graphic cards, I realized that each card has connected only one power cable, while GTX970 has two power connectors (6+8 pins). Obviously, all problems went away after connecting one more power cable to each graphic card.

Posting this here in case if someone will run into the similar problem. You're welcome!
