Client crashes after today's patch on Win7

I can log in successfully. The first time I logged in, I was in the bank in Steel, and went to Valkyrie to level successfully. A bit after that I crashed. Now every time I log in with this character I crash within a few seconds, and usually Windows reports that the display driver has died and restarted. I have rebooted, and done a "verify files" in the launcher, to no avail.

Have you tried logging in with other characters?
Do they also crash, or do they work fine?
If they let you log in, what happens when you go to Steel Canyon on those other characters?
Have you tried logging in using Safe Mode (it's a checkbox on the Updater before you accept the Terms of Agreement)?

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Seeing something similar:
Doesn't matter the character, server or side (hero/villain - though villains seems to be worse) - Peridically the game locks up, no mouse, no key board, it appears the entire system hangs. However, if i am streaming audio - the music keeps going, so its not the PC that locked, just the game. There appears to be a link with me turnign whilst moving or claiming a vet reqard - i've never had it lock just standing around or fighting (as long as i don't pivot/turn in the fight).

Also using Windows 7 - 64 bit, nVidea 295 (latest [6.15.10] drivers), 6MB RAM
