I've had the same issue, of no error reports, when I have tried looking for the reason why City of Heroes has crashed for me.|

It seems that CoH crashes so severely that it stops any error report from being generated in windows, unless the error reporting is controlled by the application(City of Heroes) and thus won't report if the application crashes completely so that it is unable to form a report.
That makes sense, and is a problem.
3 things to try, easiest first.
Try setting "prefer maximum performance" in the nvidia control panel. Click on "manage 3D settings", then choose the global settings tab, and set the Power Management Mode to "prefer maximum performance" and see if that helps.
If not, check into shutting down some programs/services.

This will walk you through it. In essence your stopping all programs, except what is required for Windows to run. The going back and enabling some, to narrow down a possible culprit. Just make sure to pay attention to the part about selecting the "Hide all Microsoft services check box" so those cannot be selected, keeping you from accidentally stopping an important service.
You can also check into using a tool to underclock your videocard. MSI Afterburner can help with that, but you might want to do some reading up on the process to find out what your "stock" clocks are before you begin. I've used http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html to check temps of my components, and you might want to do this, as it could be a heat issue if the other suggestions don't solve the issue.
I tried all over those things..none have worked.
