Summary: I recently started playing Bannerlord again (last time was in 2021), and I've been having a lot of fun. I'm around 6 hours in, and I've just reached level 8. Shortly after completing the quest where I rescue my brother (Nathanos) and the two children, Bannerlord has started to crash my entire system quite a few times. Right now, it's so frequent that I can only play for a couple of minutes before it crashes again.
I thought at first it was related to saving or loading events, as it would always crash after finishing an arena. But then I noticed it also crashes while traversing the map and doing nothing specific.
I've tried the following:
The crash causes a bluescreen, but the bluescreen is so distorted that I can't read any of the text. The bluescreen is only visible for about a second before the computer restarts. I would describe the crashing as similar to crashes where the system overheats or is on an unstable overclock.
For information, I've also:
I will try to start a new game and see if the game still crashes, and then update this thread with results.
How to Reproduce: Playing normally after completing the quest where you save your brother and the two children.
Have you used cheats and if so which: No, none. No mods are used.
Scene Name (if related):
Media (Screenshots & Video): Not able to produce a screenshot as the game crashes my entire system.

I've tried the following:
- Disabling Auto Overclock in Ryzen Master
- Playing the game in Safe Mode
- Turning the graphics to the lowest setting
- Disabling Windows Defender for Bannerlord-specific folders
- Updating graphics driver to the latest version.

For information, I've also:
- Disabled all overclocking.
- Torture tested the system in AIDA64 to check if the crash was related to system instability or high temperatures.
- It was not. Handles the torture test just fine. Temps are 80 degrees celsius for both CPU and GPU. The temperature is around 60c in game
