A couple of things worth trying:

1. Delete the jewel cache files — navigate to your PoB data folder (C:\Users\zacha\AppData\Roaming\Path of Building Community) and delete the .bin files (e.g. LethalPride.bin). PoB will regenerate them on next launch.
2. Clean reinstall — fully uninstall PoB, delete the data folder above, then reinstall fresh.
3. Update GPU drivers — make sure your NVIDIA drivers are up to date.

The crash seems to be surfacing around jewel data loading, so clearing that cache is the first thing I'd try.

This sounds like it’s almost certainly your intel cpu causing the issue as we have had many users report crashes on 13th and 14th gen cpus. Have a look at this issue to try and resolve it #9450

[LocalIdentity]

Closing as no response was given and its almost certainly an intel CPU related crash
