#Regular crash and lock up, usually after recently starting Squad

I quite frequently run into the problem that the game crashes and takes my PC with it. Sometimes it just gets stuck and the screen is just frozen. At other times it starts rebooting my PC on its own.
One interesting thing is that it usually happens in the first, I want to say, half hour of launching squad. Once I'm past that it never crashes.
Is there anything that I can do to collect more data? I do not get any crash report dialogs when this happens.

PS, I've already updated my graphics driver and validated my game files. I have a Ryzen 7 3700X and a GeForce RTX 2070 Super and am not overclocking.

I just found the AppData\Local\SquadGame\Saved\Crashes directory and there I did have one log that ended with the following:
