Game Freezing Unplayable

Windows 10 64 Bit
Intel(R) Core™ i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz
MSI Gtx 1080TI 11GB
2tb Evo SSD
32GB DDR4
I play in 2560x1440p

Starting yesterday, when I log in the video of the game will freeze. I can still hear players in background running around and the client doesn’t crash, the video just stops rendering and I have to access task manager to close game. I have rolled back all windows updates, gpu updates etc that have installed right before the issue started. I have verified all game files, I have reinstalled game, I have tried multiple gpu drivers.

Also, I don’t have to even log into the game, the game freezes at the character screen also, maybe 5-10 minutes after launching the game, it does not matter what activity I am doing or if I am at character selection screen or in-game.
I can literally hear the fans on my pc ramp up seconds before it happens.
I have logged into other games, there are 0 problems with any other game.
I have tried a different resolution, and I have tried windowed mode vs fullscreen.
I have logged into my son’s account on my PC, and it does the same. I have logged into my account on his PC and the problem does not exist. Both PC’s drivers are up to date.
I have 600 hours played, and the issue did not exist until yesterday.

Game is broken AF. Can’t play unless GPU power limit is 85% or less. No other game in library causes the problem. That’s the fix, Run MSI Afterburner and lower GPU power lmfao. I’ve gamed for 35 years on PC’s and first time in my life Ive ever seen anything like it.
