After installing the 2.00 update, my game was crashing every 5 minutes or so. It was previously pretty stable. I tried every fix I could find on the net then I remembered I had also updated my Nvidia graphics driver.
So I rolled the driver back to 25.21.14.1891 and the crashes stopped!
(Elite Dangerous had a similar problem with a new Nvidia driver - took them a couple of months to fix)
I haven't updated since 417.71 because releases after will produce various crashes in several games, NVIDIA is aware and is working on a fix, but it's still a WIP.
