Game Crashes Computer During Matches

So I took around a three week break from league, which was working just fine before the break. When I got back, the game would load up normally, I got some audio hitching for a while, then it would completely crash my computer. Like totally crash it. It would freeze on whatever the last frame was, and nothing would happen; Ctr-Alt-Delete and Alt-Tab would do nothing. I had to shut off the power manually to restart the computer. This is the only game this happens on. Black Ops 3, No man's sky, and Overwatch work just fine. Windows is updated fully, as is my GFX driver. My specs:

Intel core i7 3 GHz Nvidia GTX 960M 16 GB RAM 1 TB HDD (in case it somehow helps) Windows 10

Anyone else having this bug, or any potential fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I tried different games to see if the same thing was happening. No Man's works fine, but I have the same problem with CS:GO as I do with league; It freezes on the last frame it was on just on the main menu. Maybe this problem has to do with multiplayer?

This same exact thing has been happening to me, since this morning when windows 10 updated itself. As soon as i enter the game, within the first second it completely freezes to where i have to hold the power button. Now i'm demoted and have a 30 minute leaver buster. Pretty fucking mad to be honest.

It sounds like your game is failing to render, which could be due to a few reasons like outdated drivers. Another factor is a recent windows update that seems to have fudged up the Xbox Game Bar and causing some players to crash. As a first step, try disabling that and let me know if you still have any issues!
