Frequent crashes during gameplay

[strawman]

I'm experiencing frequent crashes on unmodded 64-bit Windows Steam KSP. There isn't a clear pattern to the crashes, except that they mostly happen during flight.

error.log: https://pastebin.com/C2zCXrLF

player.log part 1: https://pastebin.com/ECd9AvcJ

player.log part 2: https://pastebin.com/XLFnwSxV

version 1.8.1, build id = 02694

system specs: https://pastebin.com/hA53fHEs

This is a clean installation from only a few days ago.

It could possibly be low memory, that's the most common cause, but since you appear to have 16 gigs of ram and a clean install, that is probably not the case, although it may have something to do with that.

I thoroughly doubt it has anything to do with the amount of system memory available. There's no mention of an allocation failure in the logs, and the system had ~7GB free when the crash occurred.
This:

D3D11: Failed to create RenderTexture (2560 x 1440 fmt 27 aa 1), error 0x887a0005

Looks very suspicious, and smells like a GPU or GPU driver problem to me. But then I don't know much about Direct3D or it's error codes, and I don't use Windows.

Punching that error code into your search engine of choice may yield some things worth trying.

Ed. There're a post or two on the Unity forums claiming that error 0x887a0005 is a graphics card driver crash. I have no idea how reliable such comments might be though.
