To quickly tell about your issue, these are the errors Windows 10 are reporting to the game when it crashes:
first is reported DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
end then DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG which will crash
these errors happens because the graphics card stops responding for a certain period (milliseconds) and to try recover it, Windows 10 disconnects the hardware (this is why it is shown DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED ) and tries to reconnect it again, but the device still does not respond in a timely manner resulting in DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. If those errors are not sent to the application and it insists sending commands to the GPU will result in a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death)
I’ve also seen this when something like Intel Optimus tries to dynamically switch between graphics cards based on load - which of course almost never works and causes these kinds of crashes.
