Vaneglorious: Hello.

I kindly request some help in this matter, hopefully somebody might have some insights on the matter.

So I bought the GOTY GOG edition, and I'm having some serious crashes.

I've played it for several hours, then in Velen I suddenly crashed so hard that my whole PC froze, had to reset, after which the BIOS appeared at start, I saved and quit, everything worked fine after the start up. Then I played again for like an hour or something, no problems, then it crashed while being in the in-game menu for like 20 seconds, just like that. 3rd and 4th time I crashed specifically at the 2nd wraith fight during the Baron main quest with the botchling, game was still going with a frozen screen, then after a little while the game closed and Win 10 crashed, rebooted itself. It couldn't even reboot itself the 1st time, had to reset.

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU Intel Core i7 7700 @ 3.60GHz
RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1200MHz
GPU 3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (MSI)
Storage 111GB KINGSTON SV300S37A120G (SSD); 931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 (SATA)

Had nothing like this before with my old rig using 980 GTX, nor in any games before, ever.

Thanks for any help attempt in advance.

Fate-is-one-edge: Hi there.
If you have any over-clocked components (GPU,CPU,RAM), I suggest resetting their clocks to their factory defaults.
Also if you have tampered with your BIOS, specifically with the PCI-E bus clocks values, I recommend reverting all the changes you made.
Other than that, the Windows 10 OS is known to cause persistent inconsistencies with hardware drivers and software performance.

Trovlov27: Any news on this. Downloading the game again with new instal and am on 417.01 1060gtx.
