Random freezes, need to close in task manager

These freezes started occurring around a month ago. So far it’s only happening in overwatch and no other games I play.

Basically what happens is that the game just freezes completely still, while audio continues for a little bit until repeating. It happens anytime in the game, happened to me in the main screen once and I waited 5 minutes with nothing happening. Only fix to this is opening task manager and close it. This has made me reconnect a couple times in competitive as well.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
