I launched TF2 today, joined a server but about 5-15 minutes after the game crashed. I kept trying for a while and the game kept crashing so I tried verifying the cache from properties, didn't help, after that I tried reinstalling tf2 but it didn't help either. Any ideas what could cause this? I think it might have started a week ago already.
If it varies after playing for a bit, it might be that a cooler isn't working properly. Have you checked your temps before stuff crashes?
I searched and found a fix by disabling multicore rendering, I don't feel like playing right now but I was able to play 30+ minutes without crashing, so I'm not sure whether it did it. I've been able to play cs:go and source without crashing so I don't think it's the cooler.
The same thing was happening to me, I was playing with Comanglia's Max Frames config on, and I'd crash around the same time of playtime as you did, tried the same things and it didn't work.
I imagined this might have something to do with the new matchmaking things and some more agressive commands hurting the game, so I changed to Comanglia's Max fps for Mid Quality PC's and I haven't had a crash since, my performance did not lower at all, with around 5 fps on certain situations being the big difference.

I found this on the tf2 subreddit:
Crashes with FPS configs are most likely caused by mat_antialias in your autoexec.cfg
I turned off anti-aliasing and suddenly it stopped crashing (even though I don't run an FPS config).
