Windows7 crashes inside the VM when starting a certain program

Hi,
I am running Windows7 x64 in a VM which crashes after starting a certain game. Actually there are two games both from the same company, that make the VM crash after starting them. Windows crashes right after starting the game. With the 1st game the screen goes black as usual and the cursor keeps spinning for 3-5 seconds until Windows crashes. With the second game I get to 3D the login screen. The game then crashes after logging in.
Windows displays this error message on the first crash:

Windows then finishes writing the crash dump and restarts.
I can reproduce Windows crashing every time I start the game while the VM keeps running without any problems. When Windows reboots after the first crash and the game is started again, the message on the following blue screen changes slightly and stays the same(except for the addresses) for every following crash:

I first thought that this might be related to a certain feature in 3D acceleration being used, but Futuremark 3DMark Vantage or 3DMark 11 run without any problems. They run a bit choppy on some occasions, but do that without crashing Windows7 or the VM.

How can I proceed to investigate what is going wrong?

I am using a qemu-kvm git clone from a few days ago (d58931037dbb4fbc2fbb33858629d3fabfd1b0d4).

This is my command line:
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -boot order=ncd -cpu host -vnc 192.168.3.1:0 -k de -smp 2,cores=1,threads=2,sockets=1 -drive file=/mnt/ntfs/Windows7_120G.img,if=ide,index=0,cache=writeback -m 4096 -drive file=/dev/cdrom1,if=ide,index=3,media=cdrom,cache=none -device pci-assign,host=03:00.0,id=radeon6950,addr=0x11 -net nic,model=e1000,macaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:42:42 -net tap,script=/usr/local/bin/qemu-ifup -rtc base=localtime -parallel none -soundhw hda -usb -device usb-ehci,id=ehci -usbdevice host:045e:00f9 -chardev stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios -watchdog ib700 -watchdog-action debug -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:11111,server,nowait,nodelay
