Download GPU-Z, or HWInfo, to see what the temps are on your card and throughout the rest of the system.

It could potentially be not enough airflow or something of that nature. You can set HWiNFO to map for a certain amount of time. Start it mapping and then do whatever it is that most commonly makes it occur. If it crashes, get back into it and then take a look at the history chart.

After you check the temps and make sure it is not over heating go ahead and launch the game again. Once it crashes goto the event viewer and check the system and application log. You can get to the event viewer easily by pressing and holding the windows key then hit R while holding the windows key. Once the run dialog comes up type in "eventvwr" Once the viewer comes up expand the "Windows logs" and then check the "Applcations" and "System" logs to see if any errors came up recently at the time the game crashed. Be patient if it takes a minute to load the logs. There may be a lot of entries.
