Hello everyone!
I know this question has been asked a lot, and I've seen a lot of these threads on Tom's Hardware itself, but unfortunately, following all of the suggested solutions have not solved this issue for me.
Background::
Recently upgraded Motherboard, RAM and CPU, and had a bunch of issues like BSoD, but that seems to have been resolved (for now).
Problem:
When I'm playing Overwatch, it will sometimes randomly freeze, and the error message "Application Overwatch.exe has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware." will popup.
Setup:
Things I've tried:
Possible Conflicts:
I ran FurMark for 10 minutes and it had no problem at all, so I'm not too sure what else I can really do, other than getting a new GPU at this point.
Please help, as I really want to play and stream some Overwatch again soon.

Problem:
When I'm playing Overwatch, it will sometimes randomly freeze, and the error message "Application Overwatch.exe has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware." will popup.
Setup:
i7-6700 w/ Stock Cooler
16GB PNY Anarchy DDR4 2400Mhz RAM
Gigabyte GTX 660 Windforce 2X OC
640GB WD Hard Drive (WDC WD6400AAKS-00A7B0)
Asus H110M-A DDR4 Motherboard
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M500 Power Supply.
Windows 10 Pro
Things I've tried:
1. Updating to the latest nVidia driver.
2. Underclocking the GPU to reference GTX 660 Speeds
3. TdrDelay to 8 (64-bit)
4. Setting an exception in Windows Defender/Firewall for Overwatch AND Battle.net
5. Uninstalling drivers with DDU, including removing C:/NVIDIA, and then installing the latest nVidia drivers (368.81)
6. Staying up to date with Windows Updates
Possible Conflicts:
1. CPU getting to 80~C playing Overwatch, causing GPU Crash somehow(???)
I ran FurMark for 10 minutes and it had no problem at all, so I'm not too sure what else I can really do, other than getting a new GPU at this point.
