PFN_LIST_CORRUPT in 0.3.0

I just started playing POE2 and reached the cemetary. As soon as I interacted with the checkpoint/portal, the game just froze and my PC just rebooted itself and throw with a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT BSOD.

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4e)
Typically caused by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists (ie: calling
MmUnlockPages twice with the same list, etc). If a kernel debugger is
available get the stack trace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000006, The hardware PTE and/or the prototype PTE PFN data structures have
been corrupted.
Arg2: 0000000000ae01a0, The page frame number
Arg3: ffffd33583495190, The prototype PTE
Arg4: a606d302232004c0, The prototype PTE contents

yep same issue. Game is completely unplayable

It's been going on for a while on Ryzen systems: https://www.pathofexile.com/search/results/pfn_list_corrupt/search-within/threads-posts

Technically GGG are not to blame here. Unprivileged usermode process should not be able to crash OS even if it tries, but people (myself included) reported that it only happens in PoE so it does do something to trigger this bug.

What does not work (tried all of these and probably some other things that I no longer remember):
1. memtest or checkdisk
2. Updating BIOS and all the drivers to the latest versions
3. Disabling engine multithreading
4. Switching renderers (it's not in GPU code - it's something in a way they do memory mapping)
5. Moving game files to a different disk
6. Moving shader cache to a different disk
7. Reinstalling PoE
8. Reinstalling OS
9. Not having a video playing in the background
10. I didn't have any RGB bullshit to begin with

Regardless of any of the above, I've had bugchecks in PoE up to 20 times a day.

What DOES WORK:
DO NOT INSTALL latest AMD chipset software from your motherboard vendor (e.g. in my case it's https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X870-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI/support#driver ). Unfortunately it's an exe that does some shenanigans and I really don't want to figure out which exact sys-file causes these problems. Easiest way is to reinstall Windows and let it download WHQL certified drivers itself (feel free to update GPU drivers, network drivers, etc - just not chipset software, though I'd start with not installing anything non-WHQL)

After doing this I didn't have a single bugcheck in about a month
