Graphics driver crashing on Earth missions?

[Yaggabagga]

My graphics driver keeps randomly crashing on Earth missions. I can go to any mission on Earth, including the Plains, and my graphics driver is almost guaranteed to crash at some point during the mission. Any other planet I have no problem with.

My specs are:

• i7-7700K @ 4.20 GHz
• 980 Ti
• Asus Prime Z270
• 8GB of RAM

I am running on DirectX 11 with all settings maxed out except anti-aliasing, which is off. I should also mention that my driver is up-to-date.

----------

So the crash does something like this:

• Playing game as normal, but on Earth

• First the audio cuts out

• Almost immediately after the audio cuts out my primary monitor goes black

• My computer then starts to freeze and everything on my secondary monitors (I have 3) starts to lag for a few seconds.

• Then the secondary monitors turn black

• My primary monitor will then recover(?) and flash this rainbow looking image

• Then the game crashes and all other applications on my computer recover, as well as my secondary monitors

Is it still happening? I am just wondering because I am having a similar problem
