Windows 10: All of my browsers freeze my pc and I can't figure out why

Per the subject, every browser I have tried freezes my pc. This includes brave, edge, opera, and chrome. This is a recent issue over the past week or 2. I have read some places hardware acceleration could cause this, but I cannot find the setting for this on my pc where most guides say to find it.My pc specs:Ryzen 7 5800x3dAmd 6950 xt48 GB ramWindows 11 pro, 22H2

Internet browsers randomly freeze PC, automatically reboots

This issue began happening a few days ago. I am experiencing a complete system freeze following an automatic reboot. This happens only with internet browsers (tested with Firefox, Chrome, and Edge) being open, typically while loading a webpage or having
more than one tab open, but I am finding no specific pattern to trigger it as freezing occurs within minutes of use up to a few hours.

Ive had some programs become unable to open such as Malwarebytes and Nexus Mod Manager as a freeze happened while loading in a program, a complete reinstall fixes the issue.

Steps I have tried:

• Delete browsing history via Control Panel Internet Options and browsers
• Cleaned PC of dust - hardware temps are also good
• Virus(Eset NOD32) & Malware(Malwarebytes) Scans - no negative results
• msconfig services check - good
• msert.exe microsoft security tool - no negative results
• RAM check - good
• Drivers up to date

Any other ideas?

 

Chrome keeps freezing on Windows 10

Hi Pat,



There may be a few reasons why your Google Chrome keeps on freezing. One reason is the browser that you're using. For us to further isolate your concern, we need you to answer the following:

• Is this happening on other browsers as well (e.g. Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox)?
• Does the issue persist only on a specific website or it occurs on all websites?

Let us know if you're still getting the same error after performing our suggested troubleshooting step so we can assist further.
