I have had this issue for lets say the past 2 months where my game with freeze/crash, most times I can still hear game sounds and in game chat for a few seconds after, but my game is completely frozen. Most the time I have to restart my computer, but lately I found that just signing out/in will close csgo and all my apps together so I don't have to restart. However, I have tried almost everything google said to fix this issue. Please if someone else is having this issue and has a fix please let me know. I might add, it only does this on CSGO every other single game I have I don't have issues.

Things to try:
  • Verify CS:GO game files in Steam
  • Verify windows files
  • uninstall GFX drivers and completely remove all traces of old GFX drivers using DDU then reinstall drivers
  • Disable AV (temporarily)
  • Remove dust from inside of PC
  • Reseat all components in PC.

I have done all this, however I don't know what AV is.
Edit* nvm took me a sec, Anti Virus got it, yeah that doesn't work either.
