I have this same exact issue and have found a fix. I only crash during first launch of a game, most likely when shaders are being compiled. Anytime I install new Nvidia drivers, shaders are compiled again, so every game I own usually crashes for this 1st launch.
The solution is to use “Power Saver” in the control panel under the Power Options:
Set to “Power Saver” and launch the game, fully load into the level
Exit game fully, change power plan back to “Balanced” or “High Performance”
Launch game and you won’t crash anymore during game startup
Anecdotally I’ve seen this error in my searches and I’ve noticed it mainly affects 13900k and 14900k users who may have a Nvidia 4000 series GPU. Why this happens I don’t know, but it’s frustrating especially because everyone affected seems to have high-end processors. Is it a CPU firmware issue, BIOS issue, who knows but this really needs to be fixed ASAP.
