    Just posting this here so others are aware of the issue.
    Using Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced and an instanced Shader with a max batch size of 1023 cause all of our dx11 on windows 7 machines to crash at a very low memory address.

    It worked for us on all other windows platforms using dx11
    Re factoring our instancing for the default batch size of 500 fixed the problem.

    Hope this helps.

    Adding a few tags to help google.

    I would submit a bug-report for this crash, in case you didn't do yet, since the game or editor should never crash .
