After troubleshooting and playing for a few hours, I think I might have found a workaround. Changing the Path of Exile .exe file to compatibility mode for Windows 7 might have fixed the issue for me, but it's too early to tell. At least it's something you can try and takes only a couple of clicks.
However, loading the game, entering new areas, or using the town portal still spikes my CPU temperature to 95 degrees. So, if your system is still crashing, you might also want to try turning off or reducing any overclocks, if you have them.

Here’s how I fixed it, step by step:

Go to your computer and open Documents.

Open the My Games folder and then the Path of Exile 2 folder.

Find the file named poe2_production_Config. Right-click on it and choose Copy.

Right-click in the same folder and choose Paste. This makes a backup copy in case something goes wrong. If it doesn’t work, you can rename this copy to poe2_production_Config.

Now, for the original file:

Right-click the poe2_production_Config file again and choose Edit.

Look for a area that says [LOGIN] and change gateway_auto_select=true to gateway_auto_select=false.

Then, find [Display] and change renderer_type=DirectX12 to renderer_type=Vulkan.

Don’t forget to click Save to keep your changes!

Nahhh… doesn’t work. Yesterday games was crushing on directx and it worked fine on Vulkan. Today is vice versa. It is still very random.
