Apex Legends Triggers Full-System Hang (Exclusive to Apex)

🧠 Summary

My entire PC freezes for several seconds only when playing Apex Legends — no other games cause this.
During the freeze, everything stops (video, audio, mouse), then the system recovers normally.
There are no crash dumps, no Event Viewer logs, and the issue is exclusive to Apex Legends, even though I can play other heavy-demand games without any issues or instability.
