It doesn't happen to me.
My spec:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
But it did happen to a guildie of mine with basically the same spec (esp graphic card is GTX 570 as well) until he found a driver version of some time ago (different one than I use), that didn't crash any more.
That means that there are things involved that aren't obvious, so it's perfectly understandable that it isn't easy to reproduce.
