Thanks I started leaning towards hardware myself. I'm still on ddr4 3000mghz 32gig so and they are old so I could just have some dying ram. gonna try re slotting them and see if that does anything.
Yeh sorry I crashed again. I've deleted my posts as they don't solve the issue, will keep an eye on this for any possible fixes. I guess the only way to properly diagnose hardware/software is to start with a clean install and start adding in mods until it crashes but it's not something that can be reliably reproduced, it's random, so that's a potentially long and arduous process that means you don't get any game progression. It's such a pain. Never had these crashes before, been playing SPT for 3 years. None of the mods I use seem to have any similar complaints so I'm stumped. 3.7.4 was fine so I may just go back to that and see if it persists, if it works I'll just stay with that until 3.8.0 and all my mods update.
