So last week I built an entirely new computer. Installed new Windows as well. I wanted a new PC and knowing this game was gonna come out I wanted it finished before it released, so I would have a clean setup and supposedly NOTHING should go wrong.
In the span of playing for one-two hours, I've now had two Blue Screens of Death from Windows. Mind you, I've playtested this rig extensively this last week. Installed plenty of games that are graphically demanding to really test it's capabilities to deal with everything.
I really hope one of you has an idea, because if the trial version of this game already is giving me BSoD's, then I am fearful for the rest of the game. The BSoD's seem to start occuring once I hit the desert area with Mac. I got my first BSoD during the second race of his 4 races, and the second BSoD just after finding the first derelict chassis and driving towards the second part.
My system specs:
i7 6800k 3.4GHz
32 GB RAM 3000Mhz quad channel
GTX1080Ti from EVGA, the Hybrid SC2 one
The game is installed on a 500GB Sata SSD from Samsung, the 850 Evo series
My PC doesn't get above 60 degrees under load (both the CPU and GPU are similar in temperature at all times, both are water cooled)
There doesn't seem to be any indication of it happening other than the game suddenly freezing, a rattling sound coming through my speakers, after which it takes about 3-5 seconds for the Blue Screen to pop up which simply says it's creating a dump file which it doesn't actually create (i've checked whether its created in the supposed location on pc it should be created)
Unfortunately I don't have any error codes to give at this time, maybe there's a diagnostics tool that comes with the game itself to analyse crashes?
Really hope anyone has an answer. NFS 2015 was one of my favorite racing games in a long while even though I did have some things I'd like to see improved, and it seems like they've improved them in this version. I don't mind it that much if the game crashes itself but if it's taking my entire system down, that's problematic.

I actually may have resolved the crash itself, since I work in IT myself I did some logfile checking of Windows to see what was causing the BSoD's
It seemed to be related to permissions pertaining to the DistrubutedCOM files (the application-specific permission settings do not grant local activation permission for the COM server application with CLSID)
So I did some research and changed some security settings on my PC to change rights for DCOM files (I don't remember specifically how, I followed an article online about it, it went over my head tbh), which seems to have resolved them.
Potentially this could resolve it for others, but just check with Event Viewer what causes the BSoD (It's under Windows Logs > System) and then the Red Circle with the exclamation mark in it.
