In my case, I had to get back to factory RAM frequency (from 3000Mhz to 2133 Mhz), so yes. I can play for an hour without a single computer crash and I have not tested any longer yet. Hope it can solve your issue if you have the same problem with your PC and Atlas.

After playing one hour without a single crash, I think I found the culprit of my problem: my RAM was cadenced to 3000Mhz instead of the base 2133Mhz. So I think it was a bit too much for my system when playing to Ark ou Atlas. I thought it wasn't an issue because every other games like Star Citizen or AC Odyssey were fine.

Sadly, that didn't fix it.

At first, I thought this issue was only present on ARK: Extinction. However, I'm getting these freezes on ATLAS too and it simply prevents me to play the game... I've never had this type of freeze on any other game that I've played. Symptoms:Computer freezes totally and randomly, leaving me with no solution other than hard rebooting it. It only happens when I'm playing, so not in the main menu. It happens no matter what I do ingame like idling, running, swimming, etc. When it happens, image is totally frozen and no sound comes out from my PC including ATLAS, Discord, etc. PC specs: OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bits GPU: 1080 GTX RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz Motherboard: ASRock Extreme 4 series CPU: i7-7700K 4.20Ghz with a Noctua fan attached. I'm constantly monitoring GPU, CPU and RAM temperatures and they are always correct while playing ATLAS or ARK. RAM is never used at 100%, not even more than 60% when playing to ATLAS or ARK. Complete MemTest shows no error at all with my RAM. It's been since the release of Ark Extinction that I'm experiencing these crashes which prevent me to play.
