Killing Floor 2 crashes my graphics card

[Medeiros]

I keep seeing guides for KF2 not running at all, but none of them address this similar issues I've been facing lately: the game starts normally, I get to the menus and I can actually join a game, but a while after I do so Killing Floor 2 crashes and my graphics card stops working temporarily (there's a yellow triangle icon in the taskbar indicating the drivers had a failure or something like that). This happens all the time now, the game is completely unplayable...

I am starting to get really frustrated because this only started happening lately and I've tried many things, such as:

• reset all my GPU clocks and voltage to default, completely uninstalled Precision X (which I used for overclocking)
• did a fully clean install of the latest Nvidia drivers with DDU
• checked KF2's cache integrity
• reinstalled KF2 twice, even deleted the settings files in the Documents
• tried playing with texture streaming on and off (did the famous KFEngine.ini tweak)
• lowered my in-game settings, disabled all effects (I used to be able to play with a mix of High and Ultra settings, with some things disabled, and it never caused any issues)
• de-fragmented my system

And after all of this, my game and the graphics driver still crash a while after a round starts. I really don't want to format my whole PC, there has to be something I can do to be able to play KF2 again... what could possibly be causing this?

My specs:
CPU: i7-4790
GPU: ASUS GTX 750 Ti PH
RAM: 8 GB

Have you tried other versions of driver? What was the last driver that you were able to successfully play KF2 with?

Apparently my GPU fan profile was messed up and I was getting way higher temperature than usual, which I think were causing the crashes. Also, I read somewhere that setting PhysX processing to GPU instead of "auto" helps prevent crashes, so I did it as a safe measure.

Anyway, I can play normally now.
