Game crashes into a locked black screen

Hi!
I loved the original Sins for many years and now I have recently purchased Sins 2 through Steam, but the game keeps crashing on me.
This link has my pc specs and a save file just moments away from one of these crashes.

After experimenting a bit starting multiple games, I have kinda figured out that the crash happens when I'm getting around 1 hour of gameplay and there is usually combat involved.
Some other times I am only navigating the game menus just after launching the game when it crashes the same way. It actually crashed like 3 times whenever I deleted quick saves.
Reading here and there, I found out that a suggested tip to fix this kind of crash is to limit FPS. I did. Set it to 60. The crash still happens.
When the game crashes, the screen goes black and my monitor losses signal from my computer. The computer is still on. Sometimes I can hear the video card fan go into max speed. Mouse and keyboard seem unresponsive. The only thing I can do is force shutdown by holding down the power button. And when I turn the computer back on and log into windows, it takes a few minutes for the computer to start running back to normal.
I rarely ever have this kind of problems with games, so I rarely ever use forums to ask for help. I usually fix problems with answers from people who has similar troubles, so I thank and appreciate in advance for any and all help provided
