Since there are a lot of people with this problem, I will create a topic with a fix for those who use NVIDIA and have a problem that in about 5-10-15 mins of gameplay on SAMP their entire PC freeze, affecting only SAMP but not GTA San Andreas singleplayer though.
I had the same problem and I read the fix on another forum, and that fixed my problem (Source: forum.ls-rp.com)
If someone would PIN this since it's a very important fix and most people occur this while gameplay.
For this to work, you need to have a lower version than Windows 10.
So supported versions for this are the following:
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1
What you have to do is to uninstall the current video card drivers and install this older one. Don't be afraid, it won't affect any other games, it's just more stable than some new ones.
Step 1. Uninstall the current Video Card Drivers.
To do that, you can either use the NVIDIA Uninstaller, but you have to delete some registry keys as well, or you can better use software for that. I recomment DDU, no viruses and it does its job very well.

1. After you open the program, a prompt telling you to reboot into safe mode will show up. You have to press "YES" and your PC will reboot.
2. After your PC will reboot in Safe Mode, DDU will startup alone. If that doesn't happen, just run it again.
3. DDU should automatically detect your driver manufacturer (NVIDIA). If any other thing shows up, just select NVIDIA from the dropdown.
4. Press "CLEAN AND RESTART (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)". That will uninstall the drivers and delete the registry, and then reboot your computer in Normal Mode.
5. The resolution will be messed up, since your graphics card drivers will be gone. You have to install new ones.
Step 2. Install new drivers.
1. This step depends on your system.
If you have a 32-bit based system (Windows 7 32-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows 8 32-bit or Windows 8.1 32-bit), download the following: http://www.nvidia.com/download/drive...px/79890/en-us
If you have a 64-bit based system (Windows 7 64-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows 8 64-bit or Windows 8.1 64-bit), download the following: http://www.nvidia.com/download/drive...px/79891/en-us
2. Accept the Terms and Conditions, then press on Custom Install. Leave only the "Video Drivers" and "HD Audio Drivers". So uncheck "Geforce Experience" , "NVIDIA Physics" and those 2 3D graphic drivers.
3. Wait for the install to be done. Your screen may flash during the install.
4. After the installation is done, press on the reboot button. It will restart your system with your downgraded graphics card drivers installed.
Step 3. Test SAMP! Now it should work just fine!!!
