I frequently run in to the game video freezing but the audio still works. Sometimes it occurs within a few minutes, other times it can take a few hours. I can open/close inventory, attack, etc... but video is stalled. The game eventually stops responding and have to open task manager to end the process.

System Specs:
Windows 10 Pro
Ryzen 7 5800x
RTX 3060 ti (8GB)
16GB 3600MHZ
PCIe Gen 4 compatible MB and NVME
Steps I have taken:
Verified game files multiple times, each time says all files validated successfully (no errors[did this after each troubleshooting step])
Tested single player and joining hosted MP games
Did clean install on different drives
Tried different renderers: GLCore & Vulkan
Updated BIOS
Updated GPU driver 465.89 (clean install, restart PC after install)
Downgraded GPU driver to older versions (clean installs, restart PC after install[tried 457.51, 460.89, 461.40 & 461.92])
Enable/Disable Resizable Bar (on 465.89 driver)
Ran OCCT tests for all hardware, no failures
Ensured virtual memory is set to system managed
Adjusted memory speeds in BIOS (tried speeds from 2666-3600, all result in same symptom)
Disable/exclude client from any extra security/anti-virus
Set graphics to all presets and also turned everything to off/lowest setting possible
Something to note, before updating the BIOS my PC would do a hard reset when launching the game (at EAC load), while idle at the game menu, while loading in to a game and (if it made it this far) while playing. Now I just have the problem with the game freezing while playing, no sudden restarts at loading or at the menu.
Log suggests errors with DX11/Driver - not sure what more I could do to try to resolve it, though.
Thanks!
