Yeah it's weird I just disabled steam overlay and nvidia overlay and I haven't crashed yet. Hope it works for you guys.

Overlays have been known to reek havock in the game. Usually causing it to not load, but I could see how it would cause it to crash. Most of the time it's the nVidia overlay and it will lockup on startup with the 3 dots in the top left.

What type of crashes are you getting? Currently I am able to play for like more than a hour then it crashes. When I reboot it, it begins to crash more frequently and early.

The majority of crashes that I've seen over the last couple years have been either due to a hardware failure or a Windows corruption problem. One guy had a loose heat sink on his CPU another guy had to reinstall Windows. In both cases, it did not seem to affect any other game according to the poster. You may consider either as the source of your problem, in which I would recommend starting with reloading the OS.

I was getting freezes requiring a restart of the game after CTRL-ALT-DEL until I dialed down the FPS setting, letting the game cap it at 30 FPS. It's not ideal -- I'd rather play it at 60 FPS -- but it has made the game stable again.

update: today i tried to play in 1366x768 window and the game worked for almost 30(!!!) minutes without crashing!
i'm a happy man today.
during this time i captured two(!!!) guard posts on the 1st chapter. then my computer restarted on it's own (seems like reinstalling vcredist helped: now instead of black screen and looped sound pc just restarts).
while searching solution to the problem i found that the bad pc power supply might be the reason for restarts and crashes, and i think it is actually causing all this sh/it.
when playing in window mode usage of the cpu and gpu decreases by ~20%(to see this i used MSI Afterburner + RivaTunerStatisticsServer), and so does pc's power consumption(maybe), that means the game can run a little more stable than in fullscreen mode.
(note: the game runs flawlessly in fullscreen (1920x1080) on low/medium settings(except for frequent crashes or pc's restarts); average usage of gpu and cpu in fullscreen is <=70-80%; temperature of everything is ok)

Its hardware failure it happend on my old pc. Cpu crashed and burned eventualy after some time, I think overheating was also the issue

i wonder why it's happening only to mgsv. i have games much harder for my pc then mgsv, but even they run without any crashes or restarts of the system. if it's hardware failure, why it's happening only to mgsv?

i think, i'll leave this game for now. almost certain there is no fix, except for upgrading the rig and hoping that'll work. feels like this fuc/king crap will eventually kill my pc if i continue trying to play it.

Do you know that in the store page they show the minimum required for this game ? If you didn't now you can check it and see if your PC can handle this or not.

Having worked in the computer industry for the last 30 years I quit asking why a long time ago. Why doesn't solve problems. It may help for better understanding, but it doesn't solve problems in the end.

The short and quick answer is that every piece of code is different. Depending how things are written they can hit memory registers differently or different areas of the CPU that may not be hit by other applications or even cause different power consumption. When things go awry, that is what you can chalk it up to most of the time. I look at it more as finally coming across an application that can show me that my computer has a problem that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

all right. gotta repair my pc then.

Just as that guy said hardware is finicky you cant possiby know sometimes. For example as I stated my last pc was acting funky like yours only with MGR and one day CS:GO killed it months after.
