Bought the game on Steam during a sale. Game loads up fine, but will randomly crash at random points. I've tried everything -- my laptop (ASUS G75VW) hasn't had problems running "new" games, until this gem came along.

Your processor is below minimum specs and possibly the game might not be using the Nvidia card and it might be using the Intel card

We can find out, if the OP shows us his Dxdiag log file!
