What fixes helped you with persistent PC game crash to desktop after 20 minutes?

[Ronald.C]

I've been trying to play a newly released PC game, but it crashes to desktop without an error message about twenty minutes into every session, which is incredibly frustrating. I've updated my graphics drivers, verified the game files through the launcher, and even lowered all the graphics settings, but the problem persists, and my hardware meets the recommended specifications. For others who have dealt with similar persistent game crash fixes, what troubleshooting steps did you take that finally resolved the issue? Should I be looking into Windows event logs, adjusting virtual memory, or could this be a conflict with background software, and is a clean reinstall of the game or even my GPU drivers worth attempting as a last resort?
