dxgmms2.sys Has Failed

I am currently experiencing blue screen while playing.

Its reported that dxgmms2.sys has failed.

I tracked down some older post from 2015-2016 with people having similar issues and have done these steps:

I am on Windows 10 build 16193.rs

1. Updated graphics drivers
2. Updated sound drivers
3. Forced SWTOR to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode and in admin mode

4. Rolled back windows updates, then tried older graphics driver, I reverted after negative impact to other games I play
5. Lowered all graphics settings to minimum
6. Fully cleared all graphics drivers and direct x and reinstalled.

I'm now out of ideas, this is only happening with SWTOR, I'm able to play more demanding games without any issues.

I am can play for about 30min without a crash and no in game activity seems to generate a guaranteed crash.

Thanks for any help!

    Can provide a dxdiag per this link

    Initially I would be looking at temps of CPU and GPU and cooling by the description of the issue

    Swtor makes a good stress test more so then other games contrary to belief
