FC26 freezes my computer after 2 min in game
A few days ago fc26 started freezing about 2 min after starting the game. The game worked fine for months, and then since July 14 it doesn't work for more than 2 min, and then my whole PC freezes. No buttons work, I have to restart my computer with a hard reboot every time. It seems to be the same thing reported by other users like these:

One of these seemed to indicate that turning on Memory Integrity would fix the issue. I tried doing that, but after disabling an incompatible driver, I'm still not able to turn this function on because my computer won't restart properly after it's enabled. I've been trying to solve this issue as well, but haven't found a solution, so I'm not able to turn on Memory Integrity. I doubt that's the root issue because the game worked fine for months before July 14.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled FC26 and the EA app now probably a dozen times. I've tried deleting the folders with the game settings in between installations. I've disabled all other services besides essential Microsoft services to ensure there was nothing interrupting the game. I've uninstalled a couple of windows updates that appeared right around the time this behavior started. I've uninstalled them both using windows settings and using command line functions. I restored my machine to a point early on July 14 when it all still worked, and the game still freezes 2 min in. I loaded fresh installs of the EA app and FC26 on that restored point, and it freezes 2 min in. I restored my computer to the most recent version, ensured all windows updates were properly installed, and did it all again, and still the game freezes. I took out my graphics card and re-seated it after cleaning the connections. I've tried using both low and high video quality settings in the game. I've been working on this for three days now, and still haven't gotten it to work. Please help.
