Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Haven't had any, it's hard to diagnose a CTD, but often CTD's are a hardware issues so I would suggest looking at hardware to star with, maybe that controller that you keep having to unplug and plug back in, maybe the USB port?
The CTD occurs when I try to minimize the game to check email or switch playlists on Spotify. I am thinking I should update my driver on the 3080, couldn't hurt.
 
Is that a GeForce driver?
Yes. Well, I'm going to need to figure something out, I can't wait on Frontier.

I can't find any threads around of people having problems, I must be the only one. Could it be those beehives I drove past at 60Mph in my Peterbilt killing thousands? Karma, I guess.:)
Ooof, rough times.

I only got chance to dl the update today, and I'm using the same Nvida driver as you.

So far, so good.

I did notice however that I'm experienceing longer 'assembling shaders' time upon login since I updated the Nvida driver earlier this week.

EDIT: I also had a few CTD's earlier in the week, seemingly random - not sure if all of them where after updating to the 551.76 driver, but the last one was.

I "think" I may have fixed it (knocking on wood), all my settings were changed, I set it to run the shader thingy one time and that seems to have fixed my minute long black screen. The game was locking up when I would touch a button on my controller and would produce a CTD, so I rapped it through the game rather than Steam, we'll see, so far, so good. (y)

I don’t minimise the game, I run in borderless mode and alt-tab to other windows if I need to look at something else, if what I need isn’t running I switch to the launcher or one of the game tools to get access to windows to access what I need.
 
Ah, it did it again, I used the 551.76 driver and this time it didn't load just crashed right after the looooooong black screen, before I was able to play.
I'm using 551.61 and that's pretty stable.

I'm out ideas except for, maybe, a rollback? But I am clutching at straws...

And those MS crash reports are as useful as a chocolate teapot but sometimes there's a crash number that can be looked up. Whenever I look at one mind you, it just bleats about some kernal error which mean nothing to me.

You ran your controller through steam?
 
That "Hang Type: Top level window is idle" often indicates a driver error. It might be worth updating stuffs if you haven't.

Could also be a corrupted installation -- verifying the files might help.

Good luck. Those kinds of errors can be hard to solve.
I did verify the files but only updated the video driver, I think there are newer chipset and Soundblaster drivers available, I could give those a shot.
