Hey man, I exactly have the same issue.

I've just reported it in the game itself (the title of the report is "My game freezes in the main menu")

Described it well in this. But basically, same config as you man. exactly the same.

I've tried many resolutions, frequencies, graphics settings (very low to very high), nothing works.

I could not even write the full report in the game before it crashes. Had to write in text editor before copy/paste it.

Help :D
