TWD - video drivers crashing?
Hi.
I just recently purchased The Walking Dead off of Steam (on the 29th of this month). The day I purchased it I managed to play for about an hour with no problems, but I went back later that night to play again and the drivers for my graphics card - an Nvidia GeForce GT 430 - crashed. I updated my drivers, rebooted, and attempted to play again and managed to make it through about 5 minutes of play before my display crashed again and I was forced to do a hard reboot.
After that I decided to leave it be for a while, and came back to play the next day - and again, I got through about 5-10 minutes worth of gameplay before my display crashed and I was forced to do a hard reboot, again. To make certain, I checked the minimum specs for TWD and my PC meets all of them - and my graphics card exceeds the minimum specs.
Any ideas why this keeps happening? I can run other, more graphics-intensive games just fine.

To check if that is happening i suggest logging the temperatures while running the game until it crashes.
To start logging, download GPU-Z.
Start it, select the "sensors" tab, and activate "Log to File" at the bottom of the window.
Choose a location for the log file.
After the game has crashed, stop logging, Zip the log file and attach it to a reply in this Thread.
