Of 20 hours of game play, I've crashed about 100 times. I crash after every other match. Always it's a kernel_power problem. Always there are two new files called npgm.erl and npsc64.erl in the [root]Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Helldivers 2\bin\GameGuard directory when the crash happens. When looking at WinDiag, it always shows a kernel_power shutdown as the critical event code.

There is significant complaints about the Game Guard anti-cheat software that was bundled with it. It resides in the kernel, and evidently doesn't get supported enough to 'whitelist' whatever processes/drivers/services/et al that you may have running. All to stop hackers? Which are in the game anyway.

Great game, but it's being killed by it's own anti-cheat that doesn't even work... :(
