Lockup too many objects/effects?

I am Experiencing Game Lockup. No other errors, everything else running fine, Steam, Netflix, other web pages, and the monitor software from EVGA, ASrock, and Hwinfo. I want to stress the only thing wrong is the game screen freezes and the game is unresponsive to anything other than closing Steam or End Task from task manager. Pro Tip: always have Task Manage set to Always on top under options, especially working from a single monitor. Wolcen has memory still reserved, but GPU and CPU no longer have any load from the game. Tried debugging, found nothing. I have tried a range of graphics drivers from Windows Default through the last 5 releases from Nvida.

On the newest Nvidia drivers I would experience the problem sooner than with older drivers and windows updates choice. The lockup ALWAYS happens in expedition runs. Mostly when I am pushing for higher levels. (I most commonly remember it being in the third section. This is speculation though as the frustration of failing that close to finish is painful.)
The freeze always involves Anomaly and Plagueburst. Those are very visable in the frozen image. I am close to positive that I also have up 3 Livor Mortis (Thundercracking Punishers) a possessed creature from Parasite, and various creatures from Plagueburst. This build maximizes globe creation, pulling globes from max distance, exploding globes and monsters, and poison clouds. The screen is filled with an intense central visual. On my 1080p display its a bit less than 1/3 of the screen. I have a feeling its overloading the game in someway. Since I am getting no errors and cannot find anything in debug files, It appears to be a glitch with the server. Either the server itself or with data from the client. If anyone has experienced this general version of a lockup, I would love some feedback. Especially any fixes you have found. Its a very effective build for me. I just unlocked ascended @ level 76 I dont know how much further I would be without the lockups, but its frustrating for the lost time and rewards alone.

I have read through every fix I could find, Verify integrity, reinstall(wolcen and steam), video drivers, changed settings in the game (delayed the lock at lower graphics settings but still happen). Specs and Temps below from monitoring.
