I have a AMD RX 580 8 Gig video card and I'm running the latest drivers. When I play Borderlands 3 for a period of time, I start experiencing the game locking up and have to restart my computer as I can't close or tab back to the desktop. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is with the current drivers or is my card overheating. I've tried changing from Direct X 12 back to Direct X 11. When running in Direct X 11, it doesn't seem to lock up as much. I still have the graphics quality set to high. I do occasionally use the Alt R command to check to temperature and it shows it's running between 75-85C.

I would appreciate any comments and only seem to be experiencing this with Borderlands 3.
 
Well, I did some more searches about my problem and discovered that others have had this problem and by changing the Display Mode to Full Screen and the Frame Rate Limit to Capped 60 FPS, it's now running fine with no lockups. I even changed from DX 11 back to DX12 and have the video set to High and having no problems.
