[1.1.80] Factorio Randomly Crashing

Posting this here instead of bug reports thanks to me having a bunch of mods (hence it possibly not being an issue with the game itself), and the issue not being reproducible 100% of the time.

So, when I'm playing Factorio, after a while, the game randomly exits (without a crash message or anything) due to a SIGSEGV. This happens during gameplay randomly, while performing different, entirely unrelated actions.
This happens on 2 unrelated saves I have.
This is happening ever since about 5 hours after I came back to the game after a long break yesterday.
The issue occurs randomly anywhere from 2-3 minutes to a few hours after loading a save.

I've attached an example of the crash on one of the 2 saves I've experienced the issue on - Any troubleshooting suggestions & possible solutions would be appreciated.

It's crashing while rendering the world (a read-only operation). It looks very similar to AMD stability issues we've seen in the past.

Those are theoretically supposed to be solved by updating the BIOS and chipset drivers on the affected systems.

Chipset drivers are, for me, whatever the latest in the Linux Kernel are - BIOS is up-to-date as well - in summary, those shouldn't be the problem in my case? It used to run just fine on identical hardware so idk
