I've been playing this game for a month with no problems at all.  I've used the 1.02 and 1.03 update with no problems at all.  However, when I updated to 1.04, I started encountering this same recurring issue.  Every 5-15 minutes, my game will freeze with the music still playing.  It will stay frozen for around 3 minutes usually.  I get the message that "Nvidia driver nvlddmkm has stopped working and recovered". 

Now I've read about similar issues but the weird thing about this is that it has only happened to me after the 1.04 update.  I've tried a few solutions such as bringing all of my resolutions to low but nothing has worked or even quelled the problem.  I've updated my drivers.  I read in a post about 2 months ago that Nvidia had fixed the problem and was including the fix in a future driver update.  Does anybody have any solutions or ideas?  Thanks.
