Question Overwatch/Apex Legends crashing after 15-30 minutes of playtime. :'(

[markuswd]

This issue has been occurring for the past 3 weeks. I'll open up a game, play for about 15 minutes and it will just crash. Most of the time it will give me some kind of error, but there are a few times when it will BSOD or just freeze completely and not allow me to do anything but forcefully restart my computer. I was using a R9 280 before, and I thought that upgrading my GPU would help so I bought a RX Vega 56 and it is still doing the same thing.

I ran Windows Memory Diag and the results came back fine.
I uninstalled my graphics drivers completely, then reinstalled with the latest drivers.
I went into BIOS and turned off STI.
Ran stress tests on my CPU and GPU, all results were fine. (no overheating, games crash with temps around 60c)

Here are my PC specs:
Ryzen 5 2600
X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming ATX mobo
G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB (2x8) DDR4-3200
ROSEWILL Gaming 80 Plus Gold 550W PSU
ADATA SU800 256GB SSD
WD Caviar Blue 500GB
WD Caviar Blue 500GB

Help would be VERY appreciated.

Let me know whatever information you need.

has this cpu/mb combo ever had a windows 10 clean install?

Yes. Installed from a USB when I first got everything setup. Haven't done one since I got my new GPU.
