Game Freezes on a frame

[DEMTU]

It's hard to explain, but the game's video freezes on a particular frame and then its as if the video output is paused.
I know the game still works underneath the froze image because I can still hear it and I can still get to the escape, with directions from friends and then I can quit the game after from pressing escape and just going down to the esc button (screen still frozen at this point). Other applications are still fine and i can tab out and the game doesn't show not responding in task mgr.
I get the same issue with or without GPU overclocks. I have already tried verifying the steam cache last week and 9gb of files needed to download, I've also optimised the download cache in the launcher. I dont have this issue with any other games or applications. Any help would be appreciated. I have a video of the issue, but i cant find where to upload it.
