  1. Computer freezes when multitasking


    I recently bought a decently powerful new PC, (Ryzen 5 3600, RX 5500 XT with 16GB of RAM) and I have been having issues with it. There's a 30% chance every time I alt-tab or start a program that is fullscreen while for example google chrome is running, the computer freezes and turns the screen dark gray. It really gets on my nerves very often.
