Apex causes a black screen PC

Heya, I got some suggestions to update your core hardware.
Constant hardware issues even after updating should not happen in most cases, it could indicate older core drivers or Bios's are not compatible with the new GPU drivers.

Lets update the Bios and drivers that the GPU connects to to improve system stability, from what i remember; its critical for Ryzen systems to be up to date as their achitecture is so new.

From what i gather from your Dxd, your motherboard should be the X470 gaming plus from MSI.

You can get the bios here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/X470-GAMING-PLUS#down-bios

A guide is mentioned below the Bios tab and the Bios download at the top is the latest one you need.

After that go to the Driver tab, download and install the latest driver in the highlighted sections:

Once done, lets clean reinstall the GPU driver just incase you had a bad install;

download this, run it and click the clean and restart button.

Then download and install the latest GPU driver here:

If this does not work then its a issue with either the OS or hardware at which point we can eliminate drivers being the issue.

I have installed Apex legend for the third time, and still have the same problem.
After I run the game, it loads normally till click left mouse button to continue. After a few seconds, the app stops responding and never responds, I waited 5 hours today. 

I have literally tried all the fixes I could read, none worked, and I am so mad that I am almost crying.

My PC specs are

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz
Ram 8 GB
Graphics Card - Intel HD Graphics 4000

Need the help very quickly, please...

@LadySoley The issue was the overclocked RTX 2070, with using afterburn to downclock it, did it work perfectly, i even replaced the graphiccard a few days laters just in case. I hope my solution helps others as well
