Current PC - i5-2500k, 16 gigs ram, gtx 1660oc, win 7 pro.
This started after the Season 5 update. For me sound starts to go silent in game and I 100% know the hard freeze is incoming. Then after most sounds go silent the freeze happens.
Before Season 5 this never happened. I had a absolute value card GT 1030 that played Apex fine until Season 5, then the hard freezes started.
Say it's the video card? Well that has been upgraded to a GTX1660 OC.
Sound drivers? Updated, still freezes. Tried using multiple drivers, same issue.
This problem is with a sound update they made to the game with the Season 5 release. Not our systems.
I can say it's a real turn off this hasn't been addressed yet.
@Pure_Funk_Nuggetserious? Did you seen the picture? Do you just have a little idea of hardware?
This is 100% his GPU not apex.

That was my thought aswell, but all other games except Apex, there is no issues at all, and i can boost my frames all i want.

@Zen0fexthat other games are run good menas not it's all okay. Not every game/program uses the same amount of cpu/gpu/ram load. Example:
If you're overclocking your CPU, it's maybe possible run cinebench r15/20, but prime 95 will crash. Why? Because prime 95 is causing much more load (most with AVX enabled).
In your picture are artefactes clearly visible, caused by to high clock, to low voltage or by an old gpu with bad conductor tracks. I work in this business and have seen such pictures very often. Like Barry said, its probably a problem caused by overclocking.
You can run FurMark to test your GPU. Run it at fullscreen, full resolution and with 'extreme burn-in' setting. If it shows up artefactes ore crash your pc, then you know it...

Hey again.
Okay, so i made a clean install of windows, and completely removed everything. And updated everything to latest drivers. No overclocks.
Installed Apex legends again. Same thing happends.
I did what you said about Furmark. Ran it for 15 minutes.
Extreme burn in - ON
MSAA x 8
3440x1440
Attatched is a screenshot.
Everything ran fine, no crashes, no artefacts, nothing at all.
It must be Apex Legends that causes this or is there any other suggestions ?
Im very thankfull for all the help i can get.
