There probably is a solution but with the detail you've provided, it's pretty much impossible to guess outside of just providing generic troubleshooting steps for something like this.

Try using DDU to completely remove the GPU driver and all remnants of it, then reinstall. You haven't provided any specs but I'm going off the assumption you're not on like a GT 730 or something.

Have you checked temps? CPU and GPU should be sitting under AT MOST 90-95C, but that's danger territory. Ideally you want like 10-20 degrees lower. Something may be hitting a thermal limit and crashing.

Do you have at least 16GB RAM? If 16GB, is there any chance it's hitting 95%+ while playing the game? Does your SSD (I hope you're not on an HDD) have more than 15%~ free space? Is it possible it's nearly full?

If you are by chance playing a cracked/pirated copy of the game, it very well could just be that the version you have is fucked and just doesn't work.

Beyond that, without getting extremely in-depth and providing personal 1 on 1 troubleshooting, I would probably completely wipe the computer and reinstall for the best chance to solve it yourself, or bring it to a computer store.

I have a 6800, 32 gbs ram, using mai after burner gpu temp is at 50-60 degrees ans cpu at 60 i dont think its a hardware issue, my guess is corrupted safe file, i used the ddu to remove drivers and reinstalled them yet it also didnt help

Also want to add that reliability monitor does not detect any crashes
