Intermittent crashing issue

I've been having an ongoing issue with my TF2 where I will crash at random times. Sometimes I'm able to play for a couple hours and have no issue, sometimes it'll be crashing upon re-entering a server.

I believe it has something to do with other players assets/cosmetics(?), as it happens a lot when I crash, try to join the same game, and immediately crash right after. Since TF2 has no crashlog, this is just my idea after ruling out other possibilities.

Ive verified the files, clear out all my custom stuff(configs/mods), yet the issue persists...
