t4m5t3rq: Same issue here although I am also getting lock ups in cut scenes, audio keeps going, games just locks up.
Haven't managed to play for more than 20 minutes without a lock up. I have not made it past the first horse ride after the castle, which crashed constantly also, it just lasted long enough for it to save that one time.
Not even slightly playable.

Very strange, we have very similar hardware and I've only had 4 lockups while in the Inventory/Bestiary screens but that game bug might possibly be fixed in 1.0.3 (not sure, have to wait to see if it happens again I guess).
I've got an FX8350, Radeon HD7850 2GB, 32GB of RAM, W7 x64 and other than those inventory crashes the game has been rock solid. I'm using AMD's latest Catalyst Omega drivers and have Turbo Crash (Turbo Core) and "Cool and Crash" disabled. :)
