Hello, I'm having this constant issue with the game crashing every time I try to play it, now let me make it clear, I do not mod the game whatsoever, I play GTA Online 99% of the time when playing GTA, but I've noticed that this is a recurring issue within the modding community as well and this might be a good place to look for answers, that being said..
GTA 5 has been working flawlessly a few days ago but for whatever reason one day it decided to start crashing with the same exact error which is: Exit code 0xc0000005 indicates a game crash (STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION)
This is how my launcher.log file looks like:

What I have done in the attempt of fixing the issue is the following:
**- Use DDU to cleanly reinstall my GPU drivers which is an Nvidia, twice
- Reinstall DirectX
- Reinstall GTA 5 twice
- Delete all found FiveM files on my PC
- Contact Rockstar Support twice
- Move the page file from my SSD (where my game is located) to my "F:" drive
- Disable disk defragmentation for my SSD
- Lowering the graphics settings
- Playing with High Texture Quality instead of Very High
- Resetting my BIOS back to Default, although never changing it in the first place
- Disabling non Microsoft services in msconfig
- Deleting my Antivirus Software
- Scanning my PC for malware
- Deleting cfg.dat and pc_settings.bin a few times
- Playing with Steam completely closed out (I own the Rockstar Warehouse copy)
- Overclocking my GPU
- Setting GTA 5's priority to high or even real time while setting every other processes priority to low
- Updating Social Club a few times
- Disabling Startup services
- Verifying Cache multiple times
The game just doesn't want to budge whatsoever and I'm running out of solutions, if somebody could help, that would be great.
I'll note that the game crashes randomly and it doesn't matter what I'm doing in the game, it can be in the menu, or while driving, or just plainly existing, it also doesn't matter how many minutes or hours pass, sometimes the game crashes after 5 minutes, sometimes after an hour, sometimes it never even crashes, but when it does which now 99% of the time, my launcher.log file is exactly the same.
Mind you, checking the Event Viewer shows me that the faulty module is the GTA5.exe itself, so I'm completely confused.
For obligatory reasons my PC Specs are:
- Intel-Core i7-6700 3.40GHz
- GTX 980 4GB
- 12 GB RAM
- around 500 mb/s SSD and a normal HDD
- Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
