BF5 suddenly (usually) crashing ... inaccessible virtual address

After years of happy play, BF5 now crashes on me almost all the time on the first screen after the splash screen.  I can tell that it will crash when the images don't all fill in (see first attached).

The weird thing is that it doesn't happen all of the time.  About once a week everything works just as it always did; I got in an nice hour of play yesterday.

Exception code    0xc0000005

Exception Information    The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.

(See second attached for more such information.)

I'm thinking that someone at Battlefield HQ must know what  0xc0000005  points to.

Rebooting does not resolve this problem.

I never mess with Windows settings or BIOS settings, so solutions along these lines seem unlikely.  I don't overclock.  Turning off overlays did not help.  I'm up to date with GeForce drivers.

Help!
