Witcher: Director's Cut crashes

Not entirely sure if this belongs in H&A or G&T, but:
I purchased the Witcher: Enhanced Director's Cut on Steam. I think I would be enjoying this game except for the fact that it's been totally unstable. I can only play for a few minutes before a crash-to-desktop or BSOD. Crashes are inconsistent; sometimes it's during combat, and sometimes I just have the inventory screen open and the game goes to hell. Here's the hardware stats:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel i5-750 quad core (not overclocked)
8 GB RAM
Radeon HD 5800 2GB
750W PSU
Given the hardware and the age of the game, it seems like this should work easily. But even running at 800x600 with the graphic settings on Low and the sound disabled, I can't play ten minutes without a crash. I've tried everything I know to do -- updated to Catalyst 12.1, updated the BIOS to the current version, disabled the AV, verified game cache integrity in Steam, run in Administrator mode, run in XP compatibility mode, run in windowed mode, deleted old saved games, and so far nothing has helped. I've done some monitoring, and it doesn't seem to be an overheat issue. I've played plenty of newer games on this rig, and have never run into something like this before. Before I just uninstall and figure I'm out ten bucks, can anybody think of anything else I should try?
