Hello there,

Any input on this is helpful and thanks in advance!

A few days ago, i've started to suffer from CS:GO freezes, which unables me to use any function of my pc. I can alt tab but CS:GO doesnt minimize, it just shows my other windows open, and cant select none of them. I can only shut down from power button in my case, and then restart. I go into a DM, comm. server or competitive and in like 10-20 minutes it just freezes. It's weird because it just started happening a few days ago. I have been playing for years and had some freezes but very sporadic.
My graphic drivers are up to date.
Temps are fine.
Have some stutters in game but i think that is because of CSGO optimization.

Have tried:
System restore from 2 weeks ago (i'm sure in that time this didnt happened)
Verifying files through Steam
Re-installing game (i'm doing that right now but with no hopes it'll work).
This 'fixes' https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/618458030659574249/
Using only 1 audio output (heard that this could cause trouble)

EDIT: After reinstalling game, CS crashed again but now it showed me Steam Client Bootstrapper stopped working, and just freezed. I really dont know what is going on.

What i didnt try was reinstalling OS, but due to system restore not working i dont think OS is the issue here. Maybe i'm wrong.
