sounds like a possible graphics card problem? Unless you have been previously using using this card with no problems. There seems to have been a problem with those particular cards and gaming.I couldnt say for sure but it may be worth a shot.
You could try a program called "MSI Afterburner".
Go to Settings--> General--> Then tick Unlock voltage control--> Press OK and restart the program.You will notice you have from 0.825mV as min voltage & 1.087 as max voltage. it is automatically defaulted at your cards voltage... There is 0.13 increment/increase between voltage (even if you don't select 0.12/0.13 incerment (MSI Afterburner will automatically round it and correct it) Increase your cards 0.12/0.13 over its default voltage (ex: Lets say for example once you launched the program after the restart and it defaulted your voltage at 0.962mV, increase it 0.13 incerment to 0.975mV and press OK. Test your games and see if your card stabilizes. Try this step until your card becomes stable. (if your card is still unstable at 0.975mV try to increase it to 0.988mV... etc)

(if your card is still unstable at 0.975mV try to increase it to 0.988mV... etc) Well i mean i've tried another servers and it works perfect its only on QAW Originals, cause i can play on Customs with no problems. It could probably be a cvar forced by PB that is causing this crash not sure, ill try Afterburner and see how it works. Thanks for the concern

Windows event viewer. Take a look just to see if there is something there.

i had a problem like that a long time ago..it was the power supply...the crap wasnt giving the right wattage or something, i gave it to a friend that fixes that kind of problems, he changed something and i was able to play the game fine again!
