Hard Crash & Full Reboot on launch
Every time I fire up the game on Steam, I will get a hard crash and full PC reboot the first time I do so. On second launch, it's usually fine. I expect this is something to do with the kernel-level anticheat.
I have no programs running at launch other than Powertoys and Steam. I do have an external audio DAC for my bluetooth gaming headphones though, although that does not have software running. Nvidia, Windows and all other drivers are up to date. See below for system info.

Hi there,
Thanks for the report! Rest assured that crashes are automatically reported to us when they occur. In the meantime, we recommend keeping your GPU drivers and Windows version fully updated.
Since you experience crashes often on first boot, please try re-installing the game using the steps in our guide below:

Hi,
The crash happens BEFORE the game fires up. This means I click on the battleeye anti-cheat launcher and then my computer goes full black screen and Bios restart. Would this crash be logged? Or is it before any of your systems are up and running?
Also, I can confirm that I absolutely have all drivers up to date as mentioned in my original post. I will reinstall anyway just in case but I worry that the issue is not with the game, but with the kernel level anticheat which this would not resolve.
