  1. New PC videos lagging/freezing only when tabbed out.


    Got a new PC yesterday, quite high end specs so it wont be a not enough power issue. But every time i am playing a video on ANY browser, be it youtube or twitch or whatever and then i tab in to a game it starts to stutter/freeze/buffer. This happens with hardware acceleration both turned on and off. Happens with all games and they are all fullscreen windowed. Never had this issue on my old PC and my internet connection is strong and stable. Any help?

    :)

  3. Pc freeze when listen music or watch video while gaming

    I just bought a new computer and i am facing a big issue,

    usually i watch videos or listen music while gaming, but when i do it now it causes pc to freeze,

    like there is no problem when i watch only videos or listen music, but when im in game tab videos lags and musics causes pc to freeze and lyrics stucks, when i pause the music there is no problem

    first i install windows 10 and i thought that cause the problem and i upgraded my system to windows 11, but still the same
