Is this bannable?

I have a GTX 760 card, and I have been experiencing random game crashes. I am not asking for technical support, as I have tried everything possible, from updating/rolling back drivers, to lowering my in-game settings to the lowest settings. 

I don't want to get accused of rage quitting and receiving temp/perm bans for "DC'ing", so I am trying to resolve this issue, as I know this also ruins the fun for survivors when I DC due to crashing as a killer.

My question is; will I get banned if I follow the troubleshooting steps in this link?

Thank you for any information.

    Once you reach a % of games you've disconnected from (and assuming people have reported you) your account would be flagged and someone would review it. As I myself do not work for BHVR in any way I would assume they can distinguish the difference here and no ban would be issued, especially if you are actively trying to fix the problem.

    I hope that's the case, but this also wastes points for myself, and co-survivors/survivors when I crash mid-game. Not to mention the wasted offerings. 

    I just don't want to modify game files to fix the issue, if it will be picked up by the anti-cheat software for doing so.

    Thank you for the reply, however.

    One thing is.. when they first put that DC ban process in, they mentioned that game crashes were not counted. Not sure if this is still the case however.

    There's a difference between DCing and the game crashing. The game client clearly knows to differentiate between a dc and a crash, hence you recieve a crash report pop up. So no worries there. Issue comes when game cannot differentiate between a ragequit and a legit disconnection.

    I actually followed the instructions in that link, and have not crashed since, (knock on wood). I just really hope I don't get banned for modifying a file to turn off vsync.

    It says at the top that it isn't bannable, but I just really don't feel comfortable with it. However, I was actually able to play for several hours with no issues, for the first time since switching to PC.
