Overwatch keeps freezing, and I reached out to Blizzard who confirmed it's usually due to an overclock issue. After trying all their advice except disabling the overclock, nothing worked. They mentioned it’s likely the overclock itself is causing the crashes. There seems to be no option to fix this without reverting the overclock, especially since I don’t want to undo it just for one game.

It's not a significant drop in performance at all.

Consider reducing your GPU's overclock if crashes occurred prior to adjusting your CPU's overclock.

It seems like you're suggesting something positive. Would you like to elaborate on what you mean?

It seems like your GPU might be running at higher than optimal speeds. Consider increasing the voltage or adjusting the overclock settings.

If the problem stems from a CPU overclock, the whole system freezes. If only the game fails and relates to overclocking, the GPU is likely the culprit. Driver issues appear due to insufficient voltage or excessive core overclocking at the voltage setting. Memory overclocking is too high while cooling isn't sufficient.

I experienced the same issue with my PC, and turning off the GPU overclocking resolved the problem.

I just completed it. I'll check it later to make sure it functions.
