Make sure to have no unnecessary apps opened while playing the game.
Active processes running in the background could be using up too much memory, making the game freeze, stutter or crash.

Open the game video settings and try choosing to run the game at a lower resolution.
5. Set high priority for the game in the graphic driver settings
Try forcing your video card to maximize its performance when running Rage 2.
