C-208 EX HD crashes Win7 PC

[Mackem 0]

Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place...

 

I have both versions of Carenado's Caravan. The original model plus CargoMaster expansion seems to run perfectly fine, whereas the EX HD version doesn't. Whenever I load the EX HD Caravan into FSX, within a few minutes (3-5 minutes at the most) the sound freezes, Win 7 crashes and I get a blue screen. Every single time. This does not occur with any other installed add-on aircraft, only with the C-208 EX HD.

 

My FSX PC is brand new, and seems powerful enough that it shouldn't be the issue -  Win 7 Pro (64 bit), 8GB RAM, GTX 770 (2GB RAM), Intel® Core i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (NO OC), 1TB HDD. UAC off. FSX Gold with Acceleration (installed) . Active internet connection, FSUIPC installed. Orbx FTX Global and FTX England.

 

 

I'm very new to FSX, so I'm presuming it's a case of operator error and that I'm doing something wrong, though I have followed the instructions in the Recommended Settings document that came with the aircraft.

 

Any assistance you could give would be much appreciated, and just in case any of you are Win 7 gurus (this means nothing to me!), here's what the after effects of one of my blue screens look like:
