After clicking the .exe gear, it starts to load the game but hangs at 40%.

I know others will ask for a log, so I'm going to stick that out there first.
Also, how long has it sat there like that? I've experienced a couple situations where it appears to hang there, but i think it's just working slower cause the disk is being used or from my alt-tabbing around while it loads, but I don't think it's stayed stuck there for more than 5 minutes.
The other thing, in some more rare cases, it'll pop a different error message than normal that will appear behind the game window. You'd need to alt-tab to find it.

Remove and reinstall the latest graphics driver.

Can you try to download the latest experimental release (0.17.59)? According to the log DirectX keeps resetting itself, in 0.17 we've abandoned DirectX 9 and moved to DirectX 11 and implemented bunch of memory utilization optimizations.

I'm glad this works. I would advise you to carefully check for hardware problems with the card: clogged heatsinks or fans, improper connection of power cables, not seated in the slot properly, a power supply not giving quite what it needs, too much overclock.
My past experience says that this sort of "driver reset" -- especially so frequently -- is almost always a sign of hardware troubles.
It manifests first as some games or apps not working right, but others being fine, and sometimes things like switching from DX9 to DX11 (or vice-versa) in the same game fixes it. The reason is that the card is only just coping -- and this one game happens to do the thing that pushes it over the edge.
Good luck.
