Constant Crash - sound degrades, game freezes, unfreezes briefly, disconnects

    Update to add:  Narrowed down to my SoundBlaster.  Not surprising the way the crash always presented in audio first.  Not sure why it started after having played for so long with no problems.

@AbideDudeAbide 

Do you have the power settings set to max in the Nvidia control panel and Windows power settings? 

What about playing in Window or Borderless mode? Do you still suffer the same frequency of crashes.

Hi, thanks again,

I have all the power settings as high as I can, I even turned off the battery boost feature just in case, although I never play unplugged.

I have had the Origin In-game disabled as well as trying to play windowed.  The symptoms are the same.

My drive light spikes, the sound lags, then my character freezes for about a minute.  There is then a brief moment when it appears to recover, but in the right hand corner the red network warning sign will appear, then it either freezes completely or freezes for a  bit then disconnects.
