Hi!

I’ve been experiencing random freezing/stuttering with nothing showing in event viewer, i’ve tried fresh windows install last night and tested again today but still getting the same issue and it’s almost impossible to replicate it, both of my monitors will freeze briefly then readjust themselves as if i’ve just plugged a new display in (i only have 2 connected), although i’m not 100% sure on how to describe it exactly, i’ve seen it most whist playing destiny 2, i have played for 5+ years with no issue like this, specs are well above recommended(can provide if needed)

basically im just lost for what to do moving forward to try and trouble shoot and figure out the issue, i was thinking it could be ram but ram is never above 70% with other things running, with game running sits around 50%~

Anything you could all recommended would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to ask any questions to better understand if needs be.

Thanks!

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, conditon (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): Make, model, capacity, how full?

Also look in Reliabiity History/Monitor.

Check Update History for any failed or problem updates.

Task Manager > Startup: Anything new, unknown, or unexpected being launched?

Another place to look is Task Scheduler - may be some trigger.

Overall may or may not be random but no harm in checking for other things that could be happening.
