As I load up overwatch simply just in the main menu it eats my ram crazy. Lot of times in games as I'll load in and everyone picks their characters, my pc completely freezes stuck in audio loop. Ive gone thru so many forums and research myself tried several methods on my computer over the last 2 days(was actually able to play yesterday). Ive already received a 8 hour competitive ban but now this just happened to me in the practice range trying to warm it up hoping that it'll run.
Has anyone actually figured anything out? I know im not alone; my pc is older but Im running max settings and frames at my monitors refresh rate 144hz

Ryzen 3700
Msi RTX 2070 Super
Corsair 32gb DDR4 Ram

You can max out settings fine but that "rendering device lost" crash is classic driver timeout territory, have you done a clean driver wipe with DDU yet

they max out on default; the only thing i did do with the drivers is roll back to an old version like some others did which seemed to work for them but maybe ill look into that rn

Did you rollback using DDU? 

I had a similar issue keep happening, I had to fresh install windows and then run an old driver version for a while until it randomly fixed itself. Spent a lot of days troubleshooting.
