Hi StarCat, I can see you’re using NVIDIA driver version 576.88, which is considered to be stable, so I don’t expect that to be causing any problems.

Could you try running through the solutions here?:

Also, in your crash data, I do notice a mod-related exception around 20 seconds prior to the crash occurring. I suspect this is unrelated, as I understand you say the crashes occur without mods.
