So a couple of days ago, i started to notice that my PC completely freezes when playing Titanfall 2, it never happend before, so i thought it might be the new update, searched google and nobody seemed to have an issue. Each time the audio started to glitch and the game froze, i forced restarted the system and all of a sudden my PC gets stuck on loading windows screen. After like 15 restarts and messing around with boot options i managed to get into windows. Since then each time i play Titanfall 2 i get the same error after a few minutes of gameplay. Same thing when i play Black Desert Online and GTA V, and i didnt have it before aswell. Have no idea what's going on. (games like LoL, ori and the blind forest, seem to run just fine)

Tl: dr pc freezes mid game for no reason

Temps are fine. my specs:
gtx 1070
i5-3570 (hyper X evo cooler)
8gb ddr3
asus b motherboard
 
Solution
If you are using the latest Nvidia driver try reverting back to 373.**. A lot of people have complained about issues with the newest Nvidia drivers for certain games and applications.


come to think of it, the problems started since i updated the drivers. gonna give it a try
 

You were correct, dumb of me to not assume it was the drivers at first.. but getting stuck on windows loading screen is still an issue
 
Kind of hard to say. I would think it would be the hard drive or perhaps Windows became slightly corrupted. You can probably catch more helpful users to help you with that issue if you start another topic.
 


Anyway, i was quick to respond that rollback on the driver work, cause im getting the issue again.. it usually happens within a few minutes, but now it started happening abit later.. anyway, im still on the same boat. im thinking of formatting windows, since i alreay stressed all the components that might be of issue
 


Yeah that never hurts. Windows could have had a bad shutdown that one time and corrupted something.
