    My PC freezes after I close a game or sometimes if I change graphic setting in the game.


    I have a windows 11 Pc with and Nvidia GTX 3080 and intel i7-12700f. When I change the graphic settings sometimes the game freezes and the fps counter shows 1 fps. It happens with different games. My CPU and GPU temp don’t go over 75 degrees and they are not maxed out. Sometimes if I leave it idle for about 15 mins it freezes. I think this stated since I updated to the latest Nvidia graphics driver but I am not sure. I also checked and I don’t have a mini dump folder even though it’s turned on. Thank you.

    :)

    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!

    PC Hard freezing when closing games

    Specs:

    Ryzen 5 5600x

    RTX 3060 Ti
    2x8GB DDR4 3200MHZ

    A520MT Biostar

    since approximatively 1 week, my pc has been having this issue where everytime i close a game after a 5min+ gaming session the pc would either hard freeze (causing me to reboot it from the case buttons) or the screen turns black while saying that there is no signal on displayport and the pc reboots itself alone after 1/2 minutes. I can literally stay on windows for hours, game on the highest settings for hours yet the second i close that game the pc fails.

    I tried 3 different NVIDIA drivers, nothing changed.
    tried some memory diagnostic tools, no errors.

    maybe the dump files could help:

    dmp files – Google Drive
