Did you recently make power setting changes to your hardware or Windows settings?
Can you attach a DxDiag for us?

Hi, he's not the only one to get this issue : i5 4670k, 8go ram, 7970GHz, win10 updated, drivers up to date and cleaned via DDU
What I did :
Windows :
- Disable "Game mode" and "DVR"
- On Apex exe disabled "Fullscreen optimization" run as admin
Radeon settings :
- Don't have access of wattman, I have the overdrive instead and it's set up to default
- Create a profile for Apex in purpose to disable "Freesync" "Enhanced sync" "Chill"
- Disable Radeon Overlay
Origin :
-Disable Overlay
Apex :
- everything on low (even if the game wants me to put better settings)
The game is running really well, it just randomly freeze (image frozen and no sound) I have to go back to desk
thanks for your answer blueberry
effectively I recently change my CPU, motherboard and my ram. Do you think the problem comes from those changes?
This looks like this error is stemming from AMD Wattman and Windows. I searched the error online and found this discussion in the AMD Community: https://community.amd.com/thread/204322
It looks like you can fix this by making sure you have all the latest updates for your Windows. Try searching Windows Updates in your desktop search bar. Make sure all devices are updated, including your GPU.

AMD Support
That's actually up to date, I installed optional driver of AMD (19.2.3) which is supporting Apex (so I'm not on 19.3.1, the last one, but from the change log, no change except for the radeon VII, and there's a bug in r6s).
No big change, I had a one crash on 3h, at the beginning. It seems to be better but after that I didn't play apex so I can't tell, sometimes it's crashing a lot and sometimes it doesn't. Impossible to tell if that's fixed, but that's not fixed 100% sure. Apparently from forums, there's a lot of bugs with wattman, which is an option you can not disable and also they didn't renamed wattman, because this option doesn't exist anymore on 7xxx
