Hi so at Christmas I upgraded my pc and I have been having problems with dark souls ever since my current specs are i7 6700k gtx 970 8gb of 3200mhz asus z170-p and windows 10. The problem which I am recieveing is every 15 minutes my game will freeze no matter where or what I am doing it will freeze I have tried pretty much everything such as setting everything to low and trying windowed, anything I saw people saying they fixed it I have pretty much tried. If some one could try to help me I would be so thankful because I really want to fix this issue before the new dlc so I can enjoy it before the upgrade I didn't have any problems at all when running dark souls. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this much thanks, Richmondo

Try the following, I dont see any hardware reason as to why it should be that bad, so it's most likely a software screwup:

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Okay so I did what you said, the first two times I loaded it, it was fine I didn't play long enough to see if it would freeze. However on the second time I connected my controller it crashed and then now I can't open it without it crashing. I have disconnected my controller and I'm going to restart and do some more tests and i'll get back to you.
