I'm having a frustrating issue with Crimson Desert where it keeps crashing every 5 to 20 minutes, and it's the only game I'm having this problem with. I've just finished playing games like Death Stranding 2, Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us Part II, and Baldur's Gate 3 without any crashes at all. My setup includes a GTX 1080TI, Ryzen 5 3600, and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance Pro 3600 MHz RAM, and everything has been tested to be in good condition.
I've tried a lot of troubleshooting steps including using DDU in Safe Mode, reinstalling Windows, adjusting clock speed and power limits, toggling settings like HAGS and Game Mode, disabling Nvidia audio, and changing various game settings. I've also run the game as an administrator while disabling fullscreen optimizations, adjusted TDR timeout, disabled fast startup, removed shaders, and managed virtual memory. Additionally, I've updated and even rolled back drivers, updated my BIOS, turned off antivirus software, and eliminated all overlays and other programs while playing. Despite all this, Crimson Desert continues to crash, while every other game runs smoothly. Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Have you updated your video drivers recently? Sometimes uninstalling the current drivers and getting the latest from Nvidia directly can fix these kinds of issues. Since you reinstalled Windows not long ago, it might be worth a shot!
What's the wattage of your power supply? If Crimson Desert is more demanding than the other games you've mentioned, it might be straining your PSU a bit more. Just checking to be on the safe side!
I have a Corsair 750W that's less than 6 months old. I've pushed it hard with other games and everything's been thoroughly tested, so I don’t think it’s the PSU.
Yeah, I updated the drivers when I reinstalled Windows, so they should be recent.
