I've been troubleshooting this game for 2 years with different cpu's, my friends (who also have years of experience with overclocking and hw) are doing the same and we ALL have the same problem. We all run difrerent stuff, different games and it all works flawlessly except Apex. Of course I tried to fix it, I basically tried everything and it always comes to the same problem mentioned numerous times. I've done clean windows installs and then overclocked all my stuff one by one and tested it for days, in the end the CPU was always the fault even though I tried to stress it and test it with ton of games and stress tests.
At one point I just gave up because I knew that there is always some patch that just fixes the issue. If everything works fine and Apex works from patch to patch then my conclusion was that the problem is somewere in the game, that was the only logical conclusion. I can try Division 2, but it will probably be the same story like every other game I tested already, it will work just fine.
Not a lot of people are overclocking their systems and even less are writing on the forums so your perception how much people might have the problem is flawed.
well first thing that comes in mind when you say your OC is stable but the game is crashing without error is something stupid like MSI AFTERBURNER conflicting with Easy Anti Cheat, something so stupid that its easy to be overlooked.
So if you are running something like MSI Afterburner make sure to untick "enable low level io driver" (kernel driver) in its settings.
Because its conflicting with Easy Anti Cheat's kernel level drivers.
Also make sure to set the Easy Anti Cheat service to restart when it fails, maybe your game isnt even crashing but your Easy Anti Cheat is, and thats why the game closes itself which is intentional by design btw.
The reason to try division2 is also because its using Easy Anti Cheat too.
Sometimes it can be something easy like that... which gets just overlooked by people quite often.
I remember running the game with AB closed (and stuff like Logitech softeare, Discord,...) in the past just to eliminate those variables, I also tried the thing with Anticheat to make it restart if it fails, but it didn't help.
I can try to adjust Anticheat once again and untick the option in MSI AB because i didn't try that out.
yea also avoid Razer Synapse and Vanguard (riot anticheat) running at the same time. Same problem with them, just conflicting kernel drivers ...
And the usual stuff, disable hardware acceleration in browser/discord/steam etc.
disable any overlays, and try nvidia driver installation without installing experience..
Maybe also disable MPO

I wasn't posting anything because my game was running perfectly after the patch before one month. The MSI and Anticheat fixes didn't help, but the patch afterwards helped, I was able to turn down my voltage 0.04v.
However after yesterday's patch, I guess the one that fixes people not getting the charm from the EALive event, the game started crashing again and I have to add more voltage once again. Same story every time, one patch is fine, the other suxx. Luckily Season 10 is few days away so maybe they fix their mess there.
Crashing again, too. My experiences are about the same. I've never had crashing after a season update so I'm happy to wait a week.
