Free reminder that nobody reported a bricked component nor a corruption of OS/drivers. Please stop spreading misinformation.
I know it feels scary to have your whole computer lock up but please do not draw conclusions based on your emotional response. Thank you.

If you experienced a bricked component and/or corrupted files following the freeze lockup, after you made sure that it's really related to the freeze (referring again to a case that happened here), please create a separate thread to emphasize your issue.

Unless you bring solid evidence to the table related to this specific issue, just saying "it has to be bad" has no concrete foundation and only brings confusion.
Thank you.

it has something to do with shader cash, or at least partially. Today my game refused to boot in town multiple times in a row. I ave cleared dx12 and minimaps in user C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile 2

and wuala - it worked

Thank you for passing this along. So far I've had some good results with this, but I'll have to play for hours to determine whether that isn't coincidental. In the meantime here's a .bat file to automate what you describe.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
This deletes all files within these three folders.
It also launches Path of Exile 2 by App ID.
It may be worth clearing cache in between loading zones, but I don't know yet how the game might respond to that.

del /S /Q "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile 2\ShaderCacheD3D12\*"
del /S /Q "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile 2\ShaderCacheVulkan\*"
del /S /Q "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile 2\Minimap\*"

Kingstone SSD
W11

My wife's spec:
Ryzen 7 5800
Nvidia RTX3080Ti

My Brother's spec (be ready):
Ryzen 5 3600
24GB DDR4
My 10 years OLD but still good GTX980
Crucial SSD
W11

Everything updated, all drivers updated.

None of us have a single crash.

At some point you have to identifie yourself what's problem or config you need on your computer.

The single crash I've got is when i clicked the login first time and then no more crash since.

Some guys here have a 9800x3d and a $5000 setup, i'm pretty sure they don't know they have to configure PBO curve and so on... what a joke.
