pubg crashes whole system to the point of forced shutdown
I could play the game for years without this problem occuring. This error started about 1 week ago.
The Problem
As far as I can tell this seems not reproducable. It happens during the game as well as in the menu. Once it definitely happened when I clicked on quit (or exit?) game in the main menu. The screen turns black, all audio cuts out, sometimes I can hear a little noise and this drags down the entire operating system. No ALT+F4, ALT+Tab, CTRL+ALT+DELETE is working. I have to manually press the power key on my computer for 5 seconds to forcefully shut it off.

CPU Intel Core i7 6700K 4x 4.00GHz So.1151 WOF

What I tried so far
I upgraded from Win7 to Win10, completely formatted the SSD and made a clean install. Installed steam and pubg freshly on the ssd. Made sure all the drivers are up to date. There's no error message or other notification when I reboot, so I can not even tell what went wrong.
