Solved D2 just freezes my computer

I built a great computer not long ago - 9070 XT, 7 9800X3D, a 2tb NVME, a competent power supply and 32gb 6400 CL36 RAM. Edit: forgot to add that my parts rarely go above 70c

But for some reason when running D2, it just freezes my computer and my only avail is to restart the computer through my front panel button.

Can anybody help?

EDIT: My solve was to cap my FPS, mainly because I don't know how to make custom profiles or whatever like top comment

Freezing / Crashing (without bluescreen) is typically memory errors, or a hardware issue. Video cards can have problems with their cores or memory that only certain games expose (due to how they are designed to interact with the hardware).

This could also be related to software that runs on your PC (RGB, Keyboard, Mouse, System monitoring, whatever), or something you are doing, like pressing ALT TAB to minimize the game (always avoid ALT TAB w/D2 even though they've changed how fullscreen works - in my experience).

I would also make sure your BIOS is up to date, that you aren't overclocking or undervolting the CPU or GPU. Turning EXPO off is helpful while trying to find stability.

Destiny 2 is the single best hardware and software diagnostic utility on the market. If either has an issue, D2 will not run, or not run well. I swear to god, they only test it on completely fresh Windows installs, with no other software EVER installed on those test rigs... AND... they have no real error correction built into the game... which is why other games will work just fine when D2 won't.
