I know some people have had crash issues, but I haven't seen any reports of crashes quite like mine. I had a similar issue with both Wasteland 2 and Diablo 3.
The game starts off fine, I get through the intro with no problem. Once I am in the game, it runs with no issues. For about 5 minutes. Once the five minute mark is hit there is a loud, electronic tearing noise which is accompanied by a complete graphics shut down. My graphics continue to be out of whack in everything until I restart my computer. I recently installed a new video card, and was really not expecting to have an issue with Pillars.
Here is the Error Event from the viewer:

I have tried all of the recommended fixes from running as an administrator to playing around with the font folder. I really want to play this game, so I beg, NAY PLEAD!, that someone help me figure this out.
Thanks so much.
