Hello! I am experiencing random crashes as well, sometimes after minutes sometimes happens after hours, sometimes doesn't happen at all, but most of the time my game session ends in a crash that has always the same exact characteristics: screen will freeze, background sounds are playing and after a 5-10 seconds game will CTD.
First, I am playing through Steam (but as I can see from this thread it doesn't matter)
Second, my specs:
B560M Asus Tuf Gaming Mother Board
Intel Core I7 11700KF (no overclock)
EVGA RTX 3080 (I believe this comes with stock overclock*)
Game running in a M.2 XPG SSD
32 GB of Corsair Dominator RAM (16 stick each)
Third, tested everything hardware wise: clean boot (with clean boot the crashes stop, so its def a software issue), update and resintall drivers (every single one), tested memory, temps (while playing swtor) dont go over 60c.
Fourth: it is registered as an error in Event Viewer (I'm almost certain everyone having this issue has the same log):

Fifth: This doesn't happen at all with any other games, both super graphically intense or other old or not demanding games, it is 100% localized somewhere in SWTOR.
Sixth: I crashed today while loading for PVP (first, but also have crashed everywhere no matter what I am doing), as In have exhausted everything, the only thing I am left to test is if my susp that the game is OC sensitive is correct. So after the crash, restarted then disabled my XMP, and went into the game, no crash this time, played for about an hour (tested only once thus far at the time of writing).
Will keep testing, next step if I face another crash will be to go into debug mode on Graphics Card (stock clock) and see how SWTOR likes it...
Will keep posting.
