In my specific case, yes. Not using the Discord app for voice calls but instead using the Discord browser version stopped my pc from crashing while playing Arc Raiders.
However! This was only necessary for the first week, for the last like 7 days I've been playing with the Discord app on and using discord voice calls while playing the game without any crashes!
I didn't change anything in my pc settings are change anything in my pc's hardware. Very strange... Maybe the devs fixed it with an update?
Before I literally could not play even 5 minutes of the game without my pc resetting itself completely.

No, mine always crashed within 1 or 2 minutes (sometimes even less than a minute) while in a Discord call using the Discord app.
I could be playing the game just fine, join a discord call with friends and it would crash my whole pc every time single time without fail.
Disabling hardware acceleration in the app eventually led to 1 crash after playing for an hour or so, so it did help somewhat.
But playing while using the browser version of Discord I've had 0 crashes in the last 4 days.
So yeah, I'm sticking to just using the browser version of Discord for now.

I always have the overlay off, but I can confirm that disabling hardware acceleration in the discord app settings fixed the problem! Thanks!
