Okay so it seems it's fixed on my end. I updated to win 10 and the crashes have completely disappeared for me. I did notice one thing though, when I installed chrome every time I warped the game locked up for a min like it did before. it would freeze for a second in the loading screen then continue to load, but never actually freeze.
I tested it multiple times with that same result. I uninstalled chrome and everything is smooth again. so maybe it might have something to do with chrome?. just thought I would share that with you all.

P.S. sorry for long post.
