old Graphic card constantly stops working...

A random amount of time, it only happens on this game, the first time it did this was in the Dino island and then it continue to do it later in other islands (the final island and random islands) when I switch back to the game the whole terrain and menu's are black, save for a bunch of static objects and mobs/mobile characters, I cannot save then as when I load the save the terrain will be all black again

now my computer can play games like Tomb Raider 2013 with high settings and all but I think there's a problem with this game on my computer since after a random amount of time the screen freezes and boots me to desktop with a dialog on the taskbar that say's the graphic card stopped working and has recovered.

Some of my specs are
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Graphic card: Nvidia GeForce GTX TITAN
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.5GHz
Have 16.0 GB Memory

Now before you ask, I did search for the problem both on the forums and on google and most of them said to update the graphic card drivers along with some other issues, I did that (actually I did it before I even installed this game) so my card is up to date, and that most of the problems mentioned that it happens on start-up for them which isn't my case, I even lowered some settings like grass and view range from the highest to medium and I believe it didn't do any effect on my game experience as it still does the same thing, one thing I haven't tried is playing in windowed mode but I hope knows how to solve this issue, if I have to play in windowed mode then I would but I don't think it will solve it, I will still try if I must tough but if it doesn't work I'l give up and say this game has problems with my computer, so yeah just to confirm you that I haven't had any issues with any other game on my pc so far, just this.

Thanks in advance.

1. Don't minimize game, that cause black ground, menu and textures are messed
2. Maybe you have too powerful computer for game
3. Try to update all DirectX files by downloading from Microsoft website (Game uses DX 7)
4. Make sure you play Stranded II with fix to Windows 7

1) It minimizes by itself when the graphic card crashes
2) If that's true that sucks
3) My DX version is 11 and I have already downloaded and updated the files from the main site before installing any game so the Direct X files are up to date
4) I thought the latest download comes with all the fixes, it say's so in the Stranded 2 main news page that all downloads have been updated with the fix

I admit I used to play this game before on a different PC (my old pc which isn't as powerful as what I have now and it uses Windows XP 32 bit) I think it was in 2006/07 but I forgot if I had any issues with this game back then
