I finally figured it out and was finally able to play the game. For me the issue was with my CPU vcore undervolt(offset). I reduced the undervolt and now the game works fine. I still think it's kind of weird that the issue became apparent with this new game even though my pc had worked fine previously even in stress tests and benchmark. However potential unstability is in the nature of undervolting and also my PC is fairly new and I haven't played many games with it. So here is my advice if you are having PC crashes and you have undervolted/overclocked/overvolted: try moving closer to default values with your CPU/GPU/RAM etc. This game seems to be more demanding in some ways. (Have also posted about this on one other thread that is about this issue)

Was your game only crashing when Undervolt was active? When you say you "reduced the undervolt", does that mean that you game more/all power back to the CPU or took more away?
Thanks!
By reduction I mean that I moved the undetvolt closer to 0 or stock value (Edit: I don't know if it makes sense generally but anyway). This also means that the CPU uses more power, closer to stock levels. My undervolt was -80 millivolts as offset but now I have it at -50 mV.
Also yes, as soon as I only reduced the cpu undervolt, initially to -60 mV, the game worked. Then I tried again with the original -80mV and the game crashed immediately. However at -60mV there was one more crash after already playing the game for a while and launching it few times, so I went to that -50. At the same time I reduced my GPU undervolt from -30 to -20 mV just in case. After that there has been no more crashes. To clarify, I am pretty sure the issues was not caused by the GPU undervolt because I already had tried going full stock settings with the GPU earlier and didn't help at all.
