Also, I went through the checklist above and here’s the results.
Verify integrity - I’ve done this about 10+ times so far (and that’s not hyperbole) nothing is corrupt.
Disable Mods - Vermintide 2. I know this is VT2 only, but I don’t run any mods.
Firewall\AV Exceptions - these are in place for the both the entire Steam folder and the 2 Anti Cheat folders - EasyAntiCheat and EasyAntiCheat_EOS.
Check you drives - all brand new drives (new system) and no errors on any drive.
Check your RAM - everything checks out just fine.
Check your Ram Speeds - I have 4 DIMMS all running at 3600.
Disable Overclocks - nothing is overclocked
Rescan MSI Afterburner - No MSI Overclocks
Check for Viruses - Yep, none of those. Clean system.
Disabled Background Apps - Done this and it didn’t affect crashes.
I come from an IT background and I know how annoying it is to send someone an article and then it feels like they didn’t bother to read it. 
So just wanted you guys to know that I have followed that one.
