Burnout Paradise crashing to desktop, no error message.

Alright so recently Burnout Paradise has been crashing to the desktop without displaying any kind of error message. I can load the game, select a vehicle, and get in game just fine but the game will crash after a random amount of time. My system specs shouldn't be a problem at all, but you can check them out. Here's what Windows says about the crash...

I think it mainly started doing this after I added the second video card to my system. I've tried updating/rolling back drivers and nothing is helping. I've tried SLI enabled and disabled, both crash... Also tried reinstalling.

The game just seems to "lock up" for a second, then it just closes as if something killed the process, I'm not shown an error message or anything.

I had been experiencing a similar error to yours after installing the "Family Safety" module to the Windows Live Essentials pack. Below are my system specs and the error I received. Before installing Family Safety I was able to play the game for hours problem free, but after adding the Family Safety module the game would crash out to the desktop without error. Sometimes I could get one race in and other times it would crash after choosing my car; very random, but eventual. I only found this error when I checked the event logs.

After uninstalling the Family Safety module from the Windows Live Essentials pack I am again able to play the game without any crashing.
