This problem has been happening since yesterday. I'm playing Witcher 3 and the game freezes for about 2-4 seconds, every 30 seconds give or take. During the freezes, a tab out and see a little popup saying Windows Kernel Driver-something has crashed. Then after that message, another one pops up saying that the application (witcher3.exe) has been blocked from accessing Graphics Hardware. I tried playing TF2, and it's fine, no crashes or anything. I've checked the tempatures, and theyre fine, so its not an overheating issue. CPU and GPU usage is normal, not sure what the issue is here. I really need help! Ciri needs saving!

SPECS:

Intel i5 4690k
MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G
8 GB RAM
1TB HDD
Corsair CX600M
ASROCK Z97 FATAL1TY
Windows 8.1

I installed the most recommended latest drivers, not the beta, and so far, it seems stable. Thanks in advance if it works!
