Help! Random Crashes!

I have a Gaming PC with i7 2600, Gtx 560ti and 8 Ram, this should run this game on high settings.
Ok , i have most of the time 60 fps, no lags nothing to complain, but then suddenly i have a crash to desktop, i have noticed, when i turn the settings to the lowest settings it runs fine, but i don't want to play on lowest settings.
Any Suggestions? I wanted to email the Game support, but they are not avaible until 2. Januar 2013.
I have the Steam version.

What's your memory usage settings?

Let's see your settings in general, maybe something can be spotted

 

[justapro]

I don't understand you very good.
What did you say?
Which memory settings?

With that system, you should be able to play on high settings.

Have you checked for overheating? If not, it would probably be a good idea to check that first.

Also make sure that your graphics card drivers are up-to-date (but not a beta version).

I have the latest Nvidia driver 306.97 WHQL.
My graphics card is 80 degrees hot, when im playing.
Cpu 40-50 degrees.
I'm playing bf3 without any problems, no lags no crashes.

The newest Nvidia driver is 310.70 . Those temps are fine. If you could post a picture of your configurator settings .

 

[justapro]

I have installed the new driver 310.70, i will test it and then i will say, if i have crashes.

Again, Crash to Desktop after using Nvidia driver 310.70

Can you post a picture of your configurator settings?

Here is a Screenshot of the Configurator http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/3114/a2hectkv_jpg.htm

Do you receive any notifications in your taskbar about a video driver has stopped working and has recovered? Or maybe an autoupdater like a virus program pops up a window telling you that your definitions are now up to date? Have you made an exception in your antivirus for witcher 2? Have you also tried verifying the game cache?

 

[justapro]

I don't get any notifications, when it crashes, i tried to verifying the steam cache, it didn't help me.
I think, maybe my virusscanner blocks something from witcher, i made some exceptions for witcher 2.
I hope it helps and soon i will post if it works...

 

[justapro]

I have played a hour and i have still no crashes, i think my problem is solved after i made exceptions for witcher 2.

I have a question, if i want to get the gog version of the witcher 2, should i enter the steam key of the witcher 2 on gog?

I don't fully understand why an antivirus program would break TW2 if run with anything but the lowest settings?
What AV do you use?

I`ve had this happen with other games. When the antivirus program detects any hard drive activity it starts scanning (real time scanning). Some antivirus programs use a lot of CPU power that there`s practically nothing available for anything else. Of course since the advent of multiple cores it`s not as bad as it used to be. But it`s still there.
