Technical Client freezing and crashing entire PC

[Ellierance]

While playing the game the game kept completely freezing and that causing everything else on the computer to freeze and this happened on average once an hour.
Only a full computer restart would fix it. I've no clue how to even troubleshoot such a weird thing so any help is greatly appreciated.

Another, lesser issue is that every time I open the game my sound and video settings have reset to the default and while not a huge issue would be nice to solve.

Thanks everyone :)

Are your GPU drivers up to date?

[Ellierance]

Yeah they're up to date. This doesn't happen in any other game either.
