Frequent post-patch crashes/reboots from game

Actual GPU temp. reaches 75c.

Everything on the GPU is at 100%!!!!!

A screenshot of the log file output is attached.

This is during the Hurricane vs He-111 channel intercept quick mission.

Multiple crashes/reboots - cannot play mission through.

If I do a simple x-country flight in a Hurri or even the Spit vs. Ju-88 custom mission, I can play without crashing.

Settings:

1920x1200 (desktop resolution)
MD = H
BD = L
LD = L
F = L
VE = H
DD = H
BA = L
LS = M
G = Off
S = On
R = On

I'm going to try reducing resolution and then settings to see if that helps.

Thereafter I might try the now-famous kegetys mods, although I'd prefer to wait for the developers to do this sort of thing officially!!!!

This puppy really does push the GPU to the max.

Tried 1680x1050 and it seemed to play for longer before crashing/rebooting.

Tried 1680x1050 with BD = VL and LS = L and it played through without crashing.

Interestingly, fan was at 100% and GPU temp reached 86c!!!!!

PS Great game when it behaves itself though, lol.
