Thanks @Gibstone, I hear ya that you don't think it matters, but I know they're gonna ask...which Player Owned or Town were you entering (e.g. as an example that caused the crash)...and does it happen every time in that town?

Ive been trying to get into Dragons Falls and the surrounding Player owned towns. And yes 100% of the time I crash, the town loads up I see my hud and right before my character appears the screen flickers and freezes.

 

@Gibstone
Crimson 16.2.1 software is not compatible with your Radeon HD 5670 GPU.
You should not install any Crimson software for Radeon HD 5670 GPU.

Things to try:
1) Use AMD Clean Uninstall Utility to remove all AMD driver and application components.
2) Install Catalyst Software Suite (Revision Number: 15.7.1, Date: 7/19/2015) for your Win10 64-bit / Radeon HD 5670 setup.
