this never happened to me until after i upgraded my Graphic card from a gt730 to a GTX1660. Now its happening all the time.

get your drivers from your manufacture's website
simply uninstalling and refreshing your devices will download Microsoft drivers
your manufacture for your gpu (or apu) actually tests and validates their driver software
with Microsoft's drivers YOU are testing and validating

or just make most of your problems go away by installing Linux and Wine

I have been having this specifically when I'm looking in a certain direction in certain zones, an example is looking north in OT outpost and looking at the city when I get into neriak foreign quarter.

This started when I switched from an AMD card to nvidea card.

It's not consistent but in my dbg.txt sometimes I get a stream of "IDirect3DVertexBuffer::Lock() failed to lock vertex buffer for particle system" before the game crashes. And I can sort of feel the game lock up a split second before by a small drop in frames before freezing.

Tried updating my gfx drivers and direct3d version, still get it. Havent been able to Alt+Enter because the game remains froze or I get a ResetDevice failed

you can try using wined3d
this game uses direct x 8, so there has to be actual links to direct x
run dxdiag and fix your issues that are listed in that
