Load screen and right at start of games - DXGI error device hung

Game is constantly crashing with errors or sometimes without. I'll sometimes just open Apex and it will crash in the firing range, in the main menu, a few minutes into a game. I can't consistently pinpoint why it's crashing. All settings are on lowest they can be. 

Here are the scenarios that I run into:

Scenario 1:
After the error pops up the artifacts covers my game then it crashes and I'm back at my desktop with all the artifacts everywhere. 

Scenario 2:
Sometimes after the game starts artifacting, then crashes, sometimes everything freezes and my computer reboots.

Scenario 3:
Sometimes there are no errors, just artifacts, then game crashes and computer reboots.

Things I've tested:
Restarting the computer.

Windows updates.
Reinstalling GPU drivers.

Installing older GPU drivers. (Tried 10+ driver versions, all after clean removing the old drivers)
Resetting Windows. 
Reseating the GPU.
Tested on Origin and Steam install of Apex Legends.
Reinstalled the game.
Running in-game Vsync to adaptive
Capping FPS to 144
Capping FPS to 120
Windows Fullscreen Mode/ Fullscreen Mode
