DCS went from extremely stable to very unstable

[Gunfreak]

A year ago, I had almost no crashes. Like mabye one a year or every sixth months.

But after the patches last summer F4 and Afghanistan. The game has become far far more unstable. Crashing often.

You have probably done so already, just jotting it down here in case anyone else takes a peak.
Old system here. NO crashes. Except for broken mods and OC of GPU.
I take it you have removed ALL mods from Saved Games and performed a full slow repair, (don't remember if you're a Steam user).
For good measures, you could rename your Saved Games folder after a full repair, and you'd be back to vanilla installation.
Cheers!

please remove all unofficial mods if any and run a slow repair, if you still have issue please attach your dcs log and dxdiag

thank you

Not to sidetrack from any other possible culprit, but since you're using a 13th gen Intel - have you thought about silicone degradation? Do you have other heavy loads that you use regularily that still run stable? Maybe make some stress test (recommend OCCT for such things).
Also the Phantom e.g. is pretty tasking, maybe some GPU overclock, that used to run stable and doesn't anymore?
Just to rule out the Harware side of things.

Or xmp - i have turned that off on my system because it gave me lots of crashes in various games
