I have the same problem. I don't own the game on Steam. When I first got the game (roughly at release) my potato could barely run it. I played though, and I never had this problem. Now I have a Skylake system that runs it fine but I'm having the same experience you are having. What hardware do you have?

So, i sent a support request and rockstar answered me this:
Hello BlurryCloud,

Thank you for contacting Rockstar and sending us your DxDiag and MSinfo.

We would like to have you try the following troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issues you are experiencing.

• Ensure that you have Administrator privileges on the computer you are trying to run the game on.
• Ensure that all non-essential USB devices are disconnected from the computer for the purposes of troubleshooting. This could include (but isn't limited to): game controllers, flight-sticks, etc.
• Update your video and sound drivers. (Refer to manufacturer’s website)
• Disable Background Applications.
It is strongly recommended to turn off all background applications when running graphically intensive programs. Many applications can cause errors such as GPFs, color scrambling, loss of sound effects or music, etc. Taking a minute to turn off these applications can save you the trouble of rebooting later. Background applications include such things as System Agent, Norton Utilities, Internet chat utilities, virus checkers and screen savers. Crash guard programs such as First Aid for Windows can also cause problems.
Windows XP
1. Click Start, then Run.
2. In the Open: box, type msconfig. Click OK.
3. On the General Tab, Click the Selective Startup option.
4. Uncheck the option to Load Startup Items.
5. Click Apply and Close.
6. Answer Yes to Restart Windows.

Windows Vista / Windows 7
1. Click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner of the screen.
2. Click on Start Search.
3. Type in msconfig and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
4. Click the Continue button if the message "Windows needs your permission to continue" appears. If this message does not appear, please continue to step 5.
5. On the General Tab, choose Selective Startup.
6. Uncheck the option to Load Startup items.
7. Click Apply, then Ok, and restart the system when prompted.

• Reinstall DirectX Updates
It is possible that the version of DirectX running on your computer is encountering errors with the game you are trying to play. If this is the case, we advise reinstalling DirectX. The latest version of DirectX can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/179113

• Disable SLI/CrossFireX.
Many games do not support either the SLI or CrossFireX features of Nvidia or ATI video cards. It is advised to disable SLI/CrossFireX if you are running two or more video cards in the same computer when encountering issues. Please refer to manufacturer’s website for more details on how to enable/disable this feature.
• Lower Sound Acceleration.

Windows XP
1. Login to the machine as the Administrator user.
2. Go to Start, then Control Panel.
3. Double-click the Sound and Audio Devices icon.
4. Click the Audio tab.
5. In the Sound Playback section, click the Advanced button.
6. Click the Performance tab.
7. Move the slider for Hardware Acceleration back 2 notches to the left to the Basic setting.
Windows Vista/7/8
1. Press Windows + R to bring up the run box.
2. Type "control panel" without quotes, press ENTER.
3. Go to Hardware and Sound > Sound.
4. Pick your sound device that is set as default.
5. Click Properties.
6. Go to the Advanced tab.
7. Set "Default Format" to 44.1khz 16bit.
8. Click Apply and then click OK to accept the new setting and close the dialog box.
9. Click OK to close the Display Properties dialog box.
10. Restart Windows.
• Verifying the integrity of the game cache. (only applicable if you have the Steam version of the game)
• Right click on the game in the Steam library and select Properties.
• Navigate to the "Local Files" tab.
• Click "Verify integrity of game cache".
• Uninstall and Reinstall the game completely.
There is a possibility that some of the files which are installed during the setup process are incomplete or corrupted. Try uninstalling the game completely and reinstalling it under its default or express settings.

If none of the above troubleshooting resolves the issue, please contact us back for further troubleshooting with an updated DXDiag and MSInfo.

Nice kitchen sink response to troubleshooting this issue. Between their suggestion that you do everything besides cover your keyboard in tinfoil and the fact that this thread was the only thread I found about this, this may be either really uncommon or really new.

You didn't say what hardware you have.

Hey, i fixed the problem, i disabled background apps like teamviewer and WTFast, i installed the latest version of the driver, and i deleted the saved configurations of the game in MyDocs>RockstarGames>GTAV>Profiles>folder>PC_settings.bin and it worked for me, i hope it works for you

I just finished my upgrade/reinstall a couple days ago. But we have Teamviewer in common. Quit it, relaunched GTA V, problem gone.

Thanks for taking the lead. With their laundry list of stuff to do it prolly woulda taken me a while to think "quit Teamviewer" because I've never had a problem with Teamviewer interferring with games.

Edit your OP to say [SOLVED] and that both of us stopped running TeamViewer and that it solved it for us at least.

And thanks again for making this thread.
