The reason is a Windows update.
Remove the following Windows update: KB2492386 (concerns "Game performance").
If you are experiencing crashing to desktop (not the DXGI error), remove KB2670838.

Thanks LA for the heads up!
2670838 causes my game to crash every few minutes (even when I'm idling). I've unintentionally double checked it

I am posting here so that more new players pay attention to these bugged updates.

A lot of people have it installed and nothing happens - probably hardware related.
1. I started having random crashes several minutes after launching the game - it could be 10 or 20 minutes, but usually not longer than it take to kill one raid boss. I didn't have crashes since the release of RotGS.
2. I searched for the solutions (a few of my guildies also had this issue) and found this thread.
3. I deleted the update (did nothing else) and the game started running normally.
4. The next day I accidentaly installed it again and the game started to crash again in the same manner. After uninstalling for the second time (and "hiding" that update) everything works fine.
I'm pretty damn sure it's that crappy update.

Also If you've installed Explorer 10, KB2670838 will automatically install itself as it's part of IE10 now. Uninstalling it will remove IE10 as well so hope you weren't using it. Guess they want to force this update down our throat.
KB2670838 used to be called a platform update for win7x64. Now it's just an update for windows with the release of IE10. Worst #!#$ing update ever. Although if you're running Windows 8 there is an update that fixes KB2670838. No suck luck for Win7 though.
