Crashes Since updating to Alpha 19

the CPU clock was at 4500

That's within the design specs of your cpu. It should do 4600 in turboboost. Turning it off though is a good test for heat and throttling.

If things don't improve with it off though, I'd turn it back on.

I will try running with one stick of 16 gb ram instead of two.

Since your overnight memory tests didn't find an error, this test is probably a waste of time.

I took my computer apart and changed the power cable to the GPU.

What about the extra power cable to the motherboard? (not the 24 pin) There's an additional 4 or 8 pin connector to your motherboard that needs to be connected. It's normally close to the cpu as it supplies extra current for your processor.

You've eliminated a lot of things with your testing so that's good progress.

So far it's not: EAC, Memory, disk corruption, Windows file system corruption, Game file corruption, graphics driver, Antivirus, Mods, ....

How about Heat? You can install an app like HWINFO and track temperatures of your GPU and CPU while the game is running.

If the game doesn't run long enough for you to do that you could check it while running Furmark (for GPU) and Prime95 (for CPU).

These apps stress test your GPU and CPU so are good at finding issues in hardware.

I've seen extensive memory testing miss things once or twice that taking ram out one stick at a time showed. But yeah, probably indeed lol.

An absolute crazy troubleshooting would be to remove the GPU and run off of the on board. I have seen some really weird, non explainable things with Win10...

 
After turning Intel Turbo Boost off in the BIOS, I was able to play for a couple hours and there have been no crashes. I am cautiously hopeful that it's fixed.

I used HWINFO to track the GPU temp and it was between 60 and 81C with an average of 72. My guess is that with Intel Turbo Boost enabled it either used too much power which caused the problem or maybe when Intel Turbo Boost tried to lower the frequency because it wasn't getting enough power the game didn't like it. I am not really sure.

There is a second 4 pin CPU power port on the motherboard next to the 8 pin port that I was not using. I thought without overclocking that it wouldn't be necessary. I have connected the 4 pin port now. I haven't turned Intel Turbo Boost back on yet because I am just glad to be playing the game and don't want problems. I will give it a try later to see what happens.

Again thanks to everyone. I wouldn't have been able to figure this out without your help.
