Game crashing. Event Viewer says 'Service Control Manager'=ID7036

[pdxmarker]

It started less then a month ago and I can't figure out what is causing the issue. I've looked over Event Viewer, but can't seem to get answers on specifics over the net. I then read about the crash and debug section here and figured I might be able to get a little, or more, understanding about the issue. All help is greatly appreciated!

No DMP's included.

We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.

If you are overclocking STOP

You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.
