I can't say that I have an answer for you but I am assuming the system behaves fine outside of the game? Is that true? Have you tried running hardware diags against your system, specifically your graphics card? Have you tried adjusting your graphics settings?|

You may have done all of this and more but just trying to get a handle on what you've done in your investigation.
Shell game: Arc_ID:417344: It can't be good for humanity if the Circle of Thorns, Banished Pantheon and The Vahzilok are making deals.
A Final Solution: Arc_ID:402587: Earth is under stress. Every being she has spawned and some she hasn't want to possess her. Some of her children believe they have a way to put a stop to this and bring a peace.
Yes, everything else seems good. I did turn down occlusion which seemed to help, until I got a full client lock-up in Lambda.
Update: I'm now crashing every time and getting an error code 8. Driver lost connection with display, openGL error. This is CoH only, no other games.
I turned off particle physics, and that seems to make a difference, oddly.
I just noticed issues in another game too. I'm starting to wonder if the thing is overheating.

Who made the card or do you know?
If you aren't sure the GPUZ utility should be able to answer the question: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
It's made by EVGA. I've previously had good luck with hardware made by them.
Searching the Internet for that error code 8 tells me something's wrong with OpenGL. From what I've read, certain nVidia drivers are deprecating some older OpenGL functions. If City is still calling them, that might be causing the error?
My desktop has an Nvidia graphics card, and I was getting that error whenever I tried to pull up the contacts windows.
I fixed it by rolling back my drivers. You can try that.

I'm not sure if that's what affecting you, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try.
I have an Nvidia card and I crash everytime I exit a mission in Praetoria and randomly in the old world.
