Hey guys!
For a like a week GTA keeps crashing after a short period of playtime aprox. 30 minutes(didn't change any hardware before this happened),First crash occurs during the game, then the other occurs during the launch or during the loadtime for Online. I tried to re-install it several times, i verified the steam integrity, deleted the social club and downloaded the latest version, deleted the GTA5.exe and tried to reinstall, lowered my settings but nothing worked.
When i look in the launcher notepad i get different codes every time or exit codes ( most of them being launcher-sided) , tried to search them but most of the problems were solved by re-installing it.
My specs are:
OS-Windows 10 64bit
CPU: i3 3220 @ 3.30ghz
RAM:8 gigs
GPU: Radeon R7 370 4GB DDR5
I'll try to post all the errors i get here:

The game itself crashed.
I tried all of my games before posting here. (Smite, Rocket League, We Happy Few, Borderlands etc.)
 
Ah i have had that issue before. My rig contained a gtx 970 and a i5 4690k and my game would run smooth at first and then the frames would crash through the floor and sometimes crash too. so i investigated and turns out there is a bug with the game launcher making it utilize more than 40-60% cpu usage after the game launched. So i tried to alt tab out and that would crash the game. So your best bet to fix it is to the launch the game as its on the loading screen alt tab out open task manager and put the priority on the launcher as low as it will go and that should fix it entirely havent had a problem since and have had multiple hour play throughs. if you need more help just ask 🙂
 

I thought it worked, but sadly it crashed later.
Thanks for you help though.
