    This issue came out of nowhere, suddenly my PC started crashing when I quit games. It happens for all games, usually takes from 2 to 5 minutes to crash.

    PC freezes 10 minutes after closing games

    I've been having this issue for a month now. Out of nowhere my PC suddenly freezes after I close the game I played. It can be fortnite, valorant, or something not even that demanding like rocket league. I can play for 10 mins, 1 hr, or even 5 hours, it still freezes just a few minutes after I close the game.

    I've replaced my RAM, ran sfc scannow, updated windows, reinstalled graphics drivers using DDU but the issue still exists. I attached minidump file for reference.

    Need assistance with game crashes and freezes after changing PC location

    I recently relocated my stationary PC, and since then, I've been experiencing issues with both Steam games and other games. Specifically, when launching Steam games, the loading screen freezes after a few seconds, causing Task Manager to crash, ultimately requiring a PC restart. Additionally, non-Steam games tend to close abruptly after 2-3 minutes of gameplay.

    Error Message: No specific error messages are displayed; however, the loading screen freeze for Steam games prompts Task Manager to crash.

    System Information:

    • Operating System: Windows 11
    • PC Specifications: GPU gigabyte R69xt gaming oc, CPU i5 13600k, etc.
    • Game Platform: facing issues with Steam games or other gaming platforms like epic games
    Actions Taken: I have already taken the following steps to address the issue:

    1. Updated all drivers.
    2. Attempted various troubleshooting methods found online.
    3. Updated the BIOS to the latest version.
    Despite these efforts, the problem persists, and I am unsure about the root cause. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
