0xC0000005 is invalid access.. means the process is trying to read (or write) in pages of memory that are not flagged for read (or write) access. Usually happens with bad pointers (either null or pointing to dead objects).
The only case of “hardware issue” is when process goes out of memory.. considering the quality of the code, it is unlikely that most CTDs are caused by a failed allocation. Mine happens at 400MB usage with 32GB of ram
Just to share and add my experience to others.
Since SU5 (ans hotfixes), I have CDT everytime I launch the sim.
Nothing at all in community folder.
No other apps launched (afterburner or asus or others…)
It happens even if I do not touch my pc after launching ! I start the sim, I don’t touch anything, after a short while, I’m in the main menu, still not touching anything, between 10 and 30 seconds, CDT.

If I try to launch a flight, I manage to do it but it crashes seconds or minutes after.
I have 64gb and it was fine before update. I had same problems after mmoving from alpha to beta last year in july. Took long time to become stable. I still suspect somehow my mb or gfx card compatibuiility or something.. I run at stock speeds, no overclock
The SU5 performance boost certainly will put more demand on your hardware. In your shoes the first thing I’d do is remove 16GB of ram as the sim no longer needs it since the update. Test again and if still the same swap sticks. Take care that you are using the slot your MB maker recommends and try with and without XMP.
