Hey all. I'm new to this community and game. I've been playing Tribes:Ascend for a while. It runs on the same engine as Hawken and I encountered the exact same behaviour.
The game crashed into blue screen once and had many minor GFX drivers crashes (which are recovered after a few seconds).
Here's a solution that has worked for me with Tribes Ascend and now seems to work great with Hawken. Wanted to share so you know.
There is an option in Catalyst Control Center to set an application setting for different applications (under Gaming menu). Enable Triple buffer (at the bottom of the page). Leave the rest at default. I also increased the resolution (in game settings) to the highest. and Textures and Quality to High. My card is a Radeon HD6870 and it seems to perform much better under higher settings.
Hope this helps.
Oh, I'm using the latest Beta Drivers with CAP 3 installed.

					Maybe this could be added to the FAQ if it is found to work for others too?

					Small little update. Trying to keep this accurate assuming people encountering these problems may not understand the instructions. I'll post a more elaborate walk-through for those unfamiliar with Catalyst Control Center (The piece of software that comes with AMD/ATI GFX cards).
Another little note: I had a recurrence of the problem. It seems the video settings in the game reverted to some other settings (maybe after the first Patch). Set the video again to highest resolution and turned off Vscan again. Game works perfectly.

					When I say Highest resolution I mean 1920X1080
