Error Description

BSOD four times while playing the Witcher 3 on very high graphics settings. Three BAD_POOL_CALLER and one KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE.

It's not predictable when an error will occur. Could be within 10 minutes, other times I'll play for 4 hours without incident. No issues running other games so far. Screen will freeze, audio keeps playing, after a few moments it crashes to the BSOD. Latest versions of all drivers, Windows 10 up to date and freshly installed.
