I am running windows 7 and i have the same problem. It happens to me in SFT's. The game would flicker to the desktop or loading screen. Then a blue screen that says my graphics has crashed and the system must shut down.
I get the same pop-up notice about my display having a problem and recovering since loading the game the first time in S7 while just sitting in sector space. Unfortunately I'm just running an Intel 3000 gpu, if you can call it that. I hope the minimum requirements for the game haven't changed or I won't be playing anymore. Looking forward with hope to another patch to resolve this issue, as it crashed my Windows 7 once and the game the other time.

This Bug was noticed on Tribble. There is a thread in the tribble bugs section about it. Basically anyone with integrated Intel HD graphics and possible some other types of cards is SOL. Changing the Graphics to "Low" will help on most things. But any of the new content is not playable. Sucks for us that have this issue.
