  1. Windows 11 Freezes When Exiting Steam Games


    Hi;This past week my Windows 11 PC will totally freeze up any time I exit any Steam game, it doesn't matter which one it is. The computer will function completely fine before any game is booted, and the entire time any game is active, but within minutes of me CLOSING the game any game, not specific ones the whole environment will seize. I can move the mouse, but can't interact with anything. Can't click on tabs in Chrome, can't click anything in the Steam client, can't bring up the taskbar, I can't even Ctrl+Alt+Del because it just doesn't respond at all.

    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!
