I have the EXACT same issue and pretty much the same timeline as you. I’ve gone done the rabbit hole on fixes to the point that I actually wiped and clean installed Windows 11 and only have Steam, EA and Razer Synapse installed. Still crashes after trying to load a map almost every time now. Rolled back NVIDIA drivers on new install — same thing.
My issue is different to yours but I was able to actually FIX my game by disabling windows "Real TIme Protection" .
For some reason EA anti cheat doesn't like Windows Defender on my PC, I have added a file exclusion for BF 2042 and it is no longer killing my PC.

I'm also having this exact problem. It only started after the most recent patch. I'll try the Windows Defender thing tonight

The Windows Defender solution did not work for me. I tried disabling it, and also adding the 2042 folder to the exceptions list. I'm still crashing regularly. Often it is after getting rewards or unlocks after a round, but not always
