Game freezes then crashes on startup

I open the game, shortly into the EA intro video, it freezes, stayed frozen for a minute or two, then crashes. I've tried rubbing it as an administrator, with Windows 8 compatability, full screen optimization disabled, but still no joy. Looking to see if I can get any help before performing a reinstall, I'm pretty reluctant since it's 110GB

Specs:
i7-12700k
RTX 3060
16GB RAM @ 3200Mhz
1440p 144hz

Game is on my Hard drive:
WDC WD10EZEX-00WN4A0

All my drivers are up to date, I'm pretty lost as to what to do.
