Try getting the most up-to-date drivers from your GFX card manufacturer. And/or check the game forums for known issues w/ any of you're hardware. And for any patches the game may have out, you may need to turn the GFX settings down as well while your running the game.
What exactly DO you have? Those requirements are the minimum. If you just barely make them the game will probably perform poorly and you will have to run at the lowest settings.

What happens when you crash, a bluescreen or the game throws you an error at windows desktop?

It could be you're ram, the game requires 256 and thats all you have, although you may be able to play.. i'd upgrade you're ram to at least 512.. and maybe that could do it..
that honestly sounds like video to me. Thats where I would start, trying new drivers, uninstall your old drivers fully then reinstall new ones, make sure your not overclocking, make sure the fan is still working well on your vid card. Try another card to see if it does it with that.
