Check your memory.
Chrome saves the profile data in %LOCALAPPDATA%, basically:
2nd set of memory on this computer. No adjustments, I seemed to eliminate some of my early crashing last year by taking it off xmp profileCheck your memory.

Did you overclock or undervolt?

needs a complete wipe and reinstall of his OS. He also had a friend fucking around with Anti Cheat software in the registry while trying to get BF6 to function - so no idea what that person did there. Even safe mode was running into error issues and even had search delay in the Desktop of up to 5+ seconds or never appearing, and barely got it back (After multiple attempts). Also couldn't uninstall the Nvidia App in safe mode without errors all while internet disabled. I was thinking DDU but this goes far deeper with whatever that other guy did when BF6 didn't run correctly.
Damn, that's unfortunate, tinkering with registry can absolutely brick your OS. Yeah definitely deeper than a GPU driver, and data preservation (however small) is paramount. Good looking out there and hope it gets resolved. Sludig, regarding the XMP issues, can try disabling "memory context restore" if it's enabled in BIOS, reboot the system a few times and see if the mobo can get proper timings for the RAM and no crashes, and then turning "memory context restore" back on. If left off, will add more time to boot up, but may handle an XMP profile if desired once the OS/data recovery issues are situated. If the system can't handle it no biggie, just something I've dealt with (EXPO in my case).
Same thing with me, and I think some of my issues stemmed from having 3 screens (2 gaming monitors and a 65in TV for couch gaming). If I disconnected all but 1 monitor some drivers would work fine, but that just wasn't feasible. So went back to the last stable driver before the 50xx series drivers and PC has been solid ever since. Nvidia truly stole AMD's thunder for having notoriously bad GPU driver issues.

make sure all your Mobo/hardware drivers are up to date. I had a windows 11 "patch" a few months back that resolved crashes as well.
You got the story somewhat wrong, aided by it being over my head. Friend never made changes, was remote over the phone and that was updating obscure drivers and the like. But I had also been mentioning arc and anticheat having documented problems by others that had the same system in other games seeking to interfere with it and because it is so deeply embedded not ready for casual user to purge them out. Just tarkov things... So I'm the end a clean wipe is still ideal yes.I was on Discord with him last night before playing Arc - I can definitely confirm this is bigger now than a NVIDIA driver issue.
More crucial are his pictures and data - but I do not want him even using anything on that drive from anything other than a data hold (Or throw it in an enclosure) and do a complete OS wipe and install and everything fresh (Chip set drivers, Nvidia, even Steam and game downloads)
What is sad is that he could have grabbed a 4tb 990 Samsung m.2 from Amazon in September for the price of what a 1tb is now.... Glad I bought mine as secondary when I did. $166 in September for a 4tb 990, now its up to 899....
We ran basic hardware tests and he is good. This is definitely a fucked OS. (His BIOS rev is also only n-1)
This OS was messed before all this but what more than likely made it implode was when his buddy fucked around with kernel level anti cheat in the registry.
Covered above yes, last June, they've only had one update since.
