Well this is what worked for us...Hope this helps...
after hours of smashing buttons...we pinned it down to Steam..and not just overlay...whole program....
we eventualy figured out by starting game not using steam at all stopped the kicking....
Make sure steam is not running
find your steam folder......steamapps.....common...game folder...and boot it up from there....it worked for us..
(considering you bought the game through steam)
although..i have to turn off EVGA also....but i cannot run this game at all while steam is running..
