I have tried to enter this place 4 times; each times it crashes within 30 seconds of me being inside the cave.

Play in window mode and you'll get through the passage fine.

One way or the other, you are in the wrong forum. If it's a technical problem, this belongs in the hardware tech forum. Whatever it is, that isn't enough information for that forum.

The same happens to me. I'm completely unable to pass through Bonechill Passage, because the game kicks me to the desktop.

Some people is saying that playing that part of the game in windowed mode solves the issue - I haven't tried it yet -, but it should be treated as a bug. I really like that cave and this bug is spoiling it.
