Game closes to desktop without anything showing

I will be on PoE, in a map, changing zones, or sometimes just sitting in my hideout. The game will just instantly close to desktop with no crash popup or warning


This is what I find when going into Event Viewer

Faulting application name: PathOfExileSteam.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x693b7b5e

Does anybody know what is causing this?

I have an I9 13900k, 32 gigs ram, 4070 TI, and a 1tb nvme drive so I know its not from having an outdated computer. Drivers are all up to date.
