Nvidia crash - gameplay sometimes starts before screen is rendered

Normally this isn't a big issue, but was doing expedition and experienced (what i think is) the nvidia crash. Normally gameplay doesn't start until the cogs are done and the map and enemies are rendered, but this time the gameplay started but still had the cogs.
