UPDATE/SOLUTION
1. Did a complete UDD uninstall of my grafic drivers (used the instructions from the website of UDD).

2. At the recommends to update drivers, but send me to intel page, so it doesn't recognise my correct grafic card. Rather it can only see my internal grafics card from intel not the laptop card from nvidia.
So I went to this page https://www.saintlad.com/cyberpunk-2077-not-using-gpu/ and followed the instrctions.

3. Than I started the game, deactivated DLSS Ray Reconstruction and the game runs fine now.

Had the same issue as you. Tried reinstalling the game, rolling back the graphics driver, reinstalling the latest driver, etc. but nothing worked. Instead, deleting a single file fixed for me.

Deleted the file:
UserSettings.json

located at:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077

Also like you said, running fine as long as ray reconstruction is kept off.

DLSS Ray Reconstruction would crash the game for me even before 2.1 came out. I couldn't play for more than a minute. Even latest NVIDIA drivers didn't help. Without it, it's was nearly perfectly stable.

[Draco25240]

Had the same issue. After some searching around, it turns out that enabling Ray Reconstruction will crash the game if Ray-Traced Reflections are set to Off (not uncommon to do in 2.0, since it had a bug there that made people look metallic in some lighting conditions). This crash will then persist on every game launch afterwards until Ray Reconstruction is disabled by external means.

Try deleting your UserSettings.json as suggested by kokobebe, reconfigure your graphics settings, then ensure Ray-Traced Reflections are turned On and saved before trying to enable Ray Reconstruction again. That worked for me.

[ulesess]

Go to "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077"
open "usersettings.jason" with notepad or wordpad.
find "RayTracedReflections" and set "value": true, save.
Profit

I have exactly the same report. And the problem is definitely not related to DLSS. The gaming session can last as long as desired until the trigger line is crossed. Basically it's about getting into Judy's car after buying a braindance. In addition, this is the place where the second landing group lands, after jumping from the crane on the way to Myers. Tested 1000 times. Moreover, in the addition, after killing all the militants, the script for blowing up another crane works correctly. But as soon as I cross the line, the game crashes. I tried to walk in a straight line and through the destroyed building on the right side, no difference. A clear line and an end. Just like in the quest with Judy, as soon as the door of the van opens, it crashes.

These are the exact spots I'm having the crashes at as well. I know responding to an old thread a month later probably won't help but has anyone found a solution?
