Is this a laptop or a desktop? Either way, these errors are not normal at all.

#

Your driver seems to be slightly out of date

#

Install this, and check if it crashes

#

If it still crashes, check if AutoDDU helps

#

If it still crashes, download MSI Afterburner, and see if the game still crashes after reducing the GPU and memory clock speeds

#

Newer AAA games tend to be harder to run

#

Card might have been unstable (faulty) when running at or close to its max clock speeds

#

You should.

#

Just in case the problem is the GPU no longer being stable.

#

Uninstall it and try MSI Afterburner

#

OK. See the "Core Clock" and "Memory Clock" in the middle? Pull them as low as they can get, then click the check mark at the bottom. Then go play NFS Heat. Does it still crash?

#

(I'm going to assume you've already done the driver reinstalls.)

#

game stopped crashing?

#

Open and shut case of a warranty exchange.

#

Video card failed

#

For the time being, save this (click the save icon at bottom middle, then a profile slot), and also enable it to run at startup (check both the settings cog at the left side to make it start with Windows, and the Windows icon at the top (so it auto-loads the last saved/loaded profile))

#

While you arrange for a good time to exchange the card

#

Cards can and do sometimes fail early

#

That's what the warranties are for

#

You should still consider getting the card replaced under warranty, as the card does not perform to spec

#

Anyway, nice to hear that

A video card that cannot maintain its original clock speeds is considered defective even if it doesn't error
