Windows 10: My PC freezes while doing multiple things at a time

Hello.Recently I started having a problem with my Windows 11 PC. When I play a game like Valorant on it and open e.g. Brave browser or Discord on my second monitor, the computer freezes and I need to restart it using the button to be able to use it again. I can hear the sound of the game in my headphones, but the entire screen is not moving.My PC specs:CPU: i5-10600KFGPU: RTX 3060RAM: 32GB 3200MHz1TB SSD M.2 NVMe

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as the PC freezes and unfreeze after 5 minutes and this happens multiple times.

• Are you aware of any recent changes on the PC, prior to this issue?

Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform the steps as mentioned in this article:

Also, please refer this
safe mode article and start the PC in safe mode. If the issue persist in safe mode then perform clean boot in safe mode environment,
put the PC in software clean boot and check if it freezes, refer the article

If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
