PC freezes randomly. I can move mouse and open task manager, but can’t interact with task manager or any applications that are open?
This started a few days ago when I was playing Genshin Impact. It just froze when I opened it. I reinstalled it and other games worked fine at the time so I overlooked it. Today however I was playing Osu! and it did the same thing once again, and I’ve been noticing that now it does it randomly regardless of what applications are open. Other weird stuff has happened too, like on wallpaper engine it acted like I opened it for the first time and gave me an introduction of how to use it, even though I’ve already used it for months. This also occurred with my wifi connection; it disconnected me on one of these numerous shut downs and turn ons and asks for the password even though I never disconnected myself.
Any audio loops back half a second forever. When I open the start menu and hit shut down or restart, it only closes one or two applications (like task manager) and doesn’t shut down. I can press it over and over again and nothing will happen. CtrlAltDlt works, but when I try to shut down or restart from there it permanently shows the windows 10 loading screen without shutting down, unless I manually hold the power button. Another thing of note is that any lighting effects on my keyboard and mouse freeze with the computer. Take manager “works” in the sense that I can choose filters, switch to the performance tab, etc, but all the percentages stay the same and even the performance graphs remain unchanged.
Overall this is a very frustrating problem. I know this isn’t a hardware problem since I built it a month ago and it’s been working fine until recently, although I do remember that this happened once in a while at times, but not enough for me to notice.
