Computer Crashing
Hello I just want to say I came from google after reading this thread randomly because I'm having the exact same issue, and only in Planet Zoo aswell. brand new PC too so it's kinda comforting knowing it might come from the game and not our hardware, also I have pretty much the same setup as you OP, 9800x3D, 5070Ti on a Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7 same ram, game also installed on M.2 SSD.
I have no mods installed.
So yeah twice now did I have the computer freeze to death with no BSOD while playing planet zoo. but unlike OP it would never come back, on my multi monitor I could see the clock of the PC staying stuck at the same time showing it was completely frozen.
My best guess is that it's caused by that new Nvidia driver, I had one such crash on driver version 576.02 and a previous one on the preceding driver I think 572.83. I think the GPU driver might be at fault because I'm having some random glitches on video playing in chromes sometimes (sort of black artifacts playing on top of the video for a couple of seconds) but this is just an assumption.
