Constant crashing to black screen

Recently the game has begun crashing constantly, fully bricking my laptop and requiring me to force a shutdown and restart. This has happened rarely before but suddenly has gotten much worse and is utterly unplayable. It seems to randomly go from fine to unusable on a monthly basis, making me think it’s Gaijin messing something up when they update the game as they did today. My drivers are updated and my specs are more than enough to run the game (i9, 4070), I have also never had this issue with any other piece of software or game. The screen just goes to black with zero warning or anything like freezing or stuttering that might indicate something is wrong. Again this has never happened with any other games. Has anyone else had this?

might be this, worth a try at least.
