These all different missions, and all instant missions? Does this occur with any other aircraft, or just F18 instant missions? Stack trace from some of the logs below:

Tried running a slow repair of the game? Would recommend doing that, also rename Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor to MissionEditor.old so it rebuilds a new one of those when DCS starts up.

The DCS log analyser has identified a few other items with your system. Can provide that further following on from this. You can also drop those log files into the #dcs-log-analyzer channel of Eagle Dynamics DCS Discord server to get all these errors and potential solutions. For example, likely unrelated to this crash but it looks like you have core parking enabled as well.

From the DxDiag report:

Windows Error Reporting (WER)

Your system crashes with Bluescreens.

The following kernel-events have been detected: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION,KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED,HYPERVISOR_ERROR,IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL,KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE

• Remove any overclocking (including XMP).,
• Run SFC and DISM to check your Windows.,
• Check for any updates of your BIOS or chipset drivers.,

The two recent crashes were with the F-4

I’ll try these

Yes I do but I don’t have any performance troubles with that.

These are all up to date

I have no OC except XMP. Been running DCS for years with that so I don’t think it’s the cause.

If the simple repairs to DCS don’t work I’ll try this next. 
 

Thanks
