Ever since the latest windows 10 update, the game has been freezing my PC repeatedly for me -- after 10 minutes to an hour, the game just freezes my entire PC and I have to force restart my PC. All my drivers are up to date and I've made sure to try switching to directx9 and changing the compatibility to windows 7 in properties, but it still freezes my PC after an hour. I'm unable to use Ctrl+Alt+Del too while the game freezes. I've never had any issues running the game before until now.

my PC specs:
Windows 10 Home, 64 bit operating system
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700T CPU @ 2.80GHz
RAM: 16GB
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960M

Any help is appreciated.
