there could be various reasons for the problem you are facing.

- your graphics driver may need updation. Check website of the vendor for any updated driver available.
- install latest version of directx for your hardware.
- your computer may be overheating, try to keep CPU at a well ventilated location.
- check that your computer is not missing any mainboard drivers after reinstallation. Go to Device Manager and see if everything is alright.
- check the game's readme file, if it supports your hardware.
- If everything is ok and still game is crashing, try to reduce resolution and detail-level of the game.

Hope it helps.
