freezing

Hey, Can anyone shed me some light on how to troubleshoot my webcam freezing when gaming? If I Alt+Tab of my game and it background limits to 30fps or if I sent the in-game max fps to 30fps it's fine and the webcam is smooth. However, I don't really fancy playing a 2024 title in 30fps...

Hello, my pc has been freezing to a halt for a while now, and a friend tipped me off that it might be something to do with my drive. I've only had this for about a year, and it's already reading as "Bad". Was wondering what I can do and if this truly is a thing to worry about? What are...

So basically I have owned 3 PCs to date and I had all of them running windows 11... But i have been experiencing similar problems for the past 5-6 months... My computer just suddenly stops responding but my cursor still works... I can't do cntrl+alt+del or anything else to the computer other...

So I just had this PC built at Micro Centre a week ago as of today and after a few days of use it began to randomly restart with no error message. A key thing with these restarts is that when they happen, everything ceases to function one bit at a time. First, my bluetooth audio goes out and...

Hello all! I'm kind of going insane here with trying to diagnose what's causing my problem so I was hoping some of you may have some insight. I built a (mostly) new PC around a week ago. In the first few days there were 2 or 3 screen freezes/stutters that lasted less than a second and I didn't...

Hello, I've been having this issue for about 9 months with varying frequency; sometimes it can happen multiple times a day, and sometimes I go multiple weeks without an incident. It usually happens when the PC is relatively idle, for example, when listening to music or watching a video, but...

Hello all. A few weeks ago I got a Windows notification (which is why I'm posting under Windows 10) to "Restart to repair drive errors". I did so, and my computer spent the next roughly 17 hours "fixing". Seemed nothing was resolved, because the error came up again. I didn't want to risk my...

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 UD Hey all, was wondering if anyone had experience with overclocking on this specific board, because I feel like I'm missing something. What's happening is that whenever I run prime95 it crashes within 3 or less minutes, while there is no apparent reason for it to...

Computer sometimes freezes and I'm not sure why. I think it may be Chrome-related... It's the same whether graphics acceleration is off or on. So I'm pretty familiar with computers and I've tried several things that I'll list below, but basically it freezes sometimes when I walk away and its...

Hello, I have this esoteric problem that's driving me crazy. While recording with shadowplay, if I open the chat box in TF2 or L4D2 the recording IMMEDIATELY skips some frames and freezes until the chatbox is closed. Video of the problem: https://pomf2.lain.la/f/jpimocbl.webm The recording is...

Hey everyone, Firstly, I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong section; I'm not entirely sure if my RAM is the cause of the issue. For context, my PC has been slowing down to a halt and locking up, requiring a force restart. This has been happening consistently for over a week...

Hey! As the title says, I upgraded from a single 16GB 2400MHz CL17 RAM stick to another one which is 16GB 2666MHz CL19 and now my computer has frequent freezes which require a hard restart (long pressing the shutdown button). May I get some help in finding out what the problem is? Faulty RAM...

Hi I'm relatively new to pc gaming and I am currently unaware of what is causing my display drivers to crash on my new gaming pc that I built, the components are pretty high end and I am certain I installed all the correct drivers however as I'm using my computer the drivers constantly crash...

So first of all, I have tried everything and nothing seems to fix my stutters while gaming. It's usually under half a second and is more noticeable in more demanding games. Even though the gameplay is is smooth overall with high FPS, I get stutters. I believe the issue is most likely my GPU...

I've been having random freezing / crashes for years. Every time the screen will freeze and I'm able to move the mouse around for a few seconds and then completely freezes. Audio will play from whatever audio was going before the crash, video game or youtube video, for a pretty long time before...

When I boot up my PC, the PC freezes abruptly and the HDD light on the PC tower is solid red. Even if I try to boot into Windows Installer USB, the PC freezes sometimes at "starting windows", or sometimes when it does go into the installer, it freezes randomly. It doesn't even respond to mouse...

I have been having this issue for probably well over a year now. I have scoured the internet for many months to no avail, and last night I finally bit the bullet and reset my Windows.... and I am still having issues. So there are two major issues with my system, one that largely doesnt affect...

I feel like a dog chasing its tail. Is there a way to load the drivers from the bios or add them to the windows installation media? New build, new install. Windows is on the drive and will occasionally boot into the home screen, within a few secs/mins it will either freeze or bsod. I know how to...

Hi everyone, I'm dealing with a very specific issue with my setup for months now, more specifically with my USB peripherals . The setup: 1 mic, 1 keyboard and 1 mouse all connected to a powered USB hub that is connected to my PC. The main issue: The devices seem to be freezing for seconds the...

I've had a weird issue for a while now on both my desktop and laptop where infrequently, let's say once a day or so, the whole system goes into extreme slow motion or stutter for about 2 seconds and then comes right out of it like nothing happened. This affects everything on screen whether I'm...

I get small fps drops like 1-2 fps and every game just freezes. For example in every game i play i get consistent 60 fps but every 2-3 min ill drop 2-3 fps and the game will just freeze for a second. This has happened in: God Of War 2018,Star Wars Jedi fallen Order, Assassins Creed Origins. My...

Hi, I'm not sure where the best place for this post is. I hope I selected the correct one. I'm having trouble with my gaming pc. It's freezing on the "MAG" Screen after it get's passed the ability to get into bios. My motherboard is a MSI Tomahawk B550. The power went out twice yesterday and...

Please excuse my ignorance, I am not the most "tech savvy" human I just recently bought a prebuilt IBUYPOWER PC on Black Friday. I have had dozens of freezes since then. I installed two M.2's in it one being brand new and one being from my old laptop. The freezing feels kind of random, the only...

Hello all, I am returning again after prematurely marking my last post as solved. I thought my issue was resolved, but it had only improved slightly but never went away. A little over a year ago I build a high end gaming and workstation pc. Ever since it was built, it has been stuttering both in...

I need help i need to know which component is most likely to be causing this problem My pc will have random lags, my audio starts glitching out at the same rate that my mouse is glitching out. My mouse input will be very laggy as if it dropped to 10 hz polling rate, and i will barely be able to...

Hello everyone. I have a monitor issue ( i think ) . Here is the problem : While the 3/2 part of the monitor freezes where it last left off, the upper part looks like the picture. I can see the mouse movement in the top 1 cm area. I used to have a DP cable about 2 weeks ago and this problem...

Hi, so I wanted to share this concern of mine regarding this new PC I bought about a year ago, it's mostly concerning because it's been doing it a lot constantly and I can pinpoint when it happens usually. I feel like I overpaid for this computer and completely regret because my old PC seems to...

I've been using an older/budget PC for quite some time but now it is behaving in a weird way. It's freezing every day a few times per session and mostly when just browsing the web or switching windows, but never when gaming. The way it freezes is that at first I'm free to move around the mouse...

So recently I have been noticing an issue that suddenly just showed up one day. When playing games that are very resource hungry like Red Dead 2 and MSFS. Game will play fine at first then suddenly massive freezes where not only the game will freeze but the entire PC. It will last for about 20...

I have this prebuilt that I got back from 2017. I upgraded it with a SATA Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB and two 8 GB sticks of Corsair Vengence RAM. Just over the past year I've been having some performance issues with it in games that I never had a problem with. Games will freeze and stuttering and...

Hey all, seemingly randomly my computer has started to crash when attempting to run games or discord (The application freezes (no error) then I usually close it myself). I first experienced the crashes just last week while playing a Minecraft Modpack, my game would freeze after a few minutes...

Hey guys. My pc has been freezing a lot since around a week ago. This issue essentially involves my game or PC temporarily freezing for only 1-2 seconds at most, and then it is fine, however my Discord audio completely cuts out and I cannot hear anyone / they cannot hear me. The best fix I...

Hi there! I have a decent gaming pc that I've had for about 9 years now. I run most games fine (medium to ultra) at 1440p 144hz but I'm struggling with PUBG, which is a problem as I've gotten into playing it competitively lately. I suffer from extreme freeze spikes, which I'm fairly sure is due...

Today i replaced my old psu to corsair rm850e and suddenly my pc started to hard freeze/hang after i play any game for more than like 15 minutes. I have to restart the PC with restart button on the case because the screen is completely frozen but i can still hear sounds. Nothing is shown in...
