Question Games not loading and task manager not responding

[nxhhl]

Hello,

As I recently set up a computer and downloaded a game to play it would freeze on loading then disappeared from the screen.

At this point I could not see it in the task manager but it appeared as "running" on epic games launcher.

As well as this the manager was also giving "... not responding" errors when I opened the performance tab

This also happened with another game after I deleted the previous and tried this new one.

Is anyone aware of anything I could try?

Components: ryzen 5 7600, rx 6750 xt, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz

I checked event viewer and found some errors.

“Application SID does not match with conducted SID”
“WindowsPackageManagerService…” this happened more than several times
“Epic launcher” had some
“Program task MGR stopped interacting with windows and was closed”

Common "connection" - power.

Take another look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer.

Driver problems being likely to appear as some error code, warning, or even an informational event just before or at the times when things froze up.

Try manual updates - no update tools or applications.

And, for the record, I am not a fan of stress tests.

Main reason being that if any given stress test was truly "stressful" then the test could end badly for the subject component or system.

I would not expect any manufacturer to go that far with stressing anything unless the objective is to truly find where things break.

Likewise wonder about possible cumulative effects of such stress tests.

Manufacturers do not want that to happen either....

Makes sense to look for bad disk sectors or RAM but that is not the same as stressing. Or looking at or measuring frequencies, voltages etc. to determine if performance measurements match the configuration settings. Or specifications.

Very important to understand what is being tested, how it is being tested, and the real-world meaning of the end results.

However, I am willing to defer to those who regularly use and otherwise work with stress testing tools.
