(stupid question) Can a monitor cause screen freezes?

[Dutchpixel]

Hello,

i Have a problem when i am gaming sometimes my screen freezes and the only way to fix it is to force restart it.
My specs are:

GPU: GTX 750 ti
CPU: FX 6350
MOBO: AsRock N68-GS4-FX
RAM: 8GB
OS: windows 10 enterprise
PSU: 600W
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 910n

Thank you for answers,

No I highly doubt the monitor is causing that. What makes you think its the monitor?

Freezing during gaming is a typical heat and/or power issue symptom. Is this system being overclocked (CPU, GPU, memory)? What are your CPU and GPU operating temperatures when idle and under load?

This could also be a memory related issue. Have you tested your memory with a tool like memtest?

I also notice that you are using Win 10 Enterprise. Where did you get that from?

According to the first website I supplied below, #1 is due to driver incompatibilities. #2, according to Microsoft, is the same thing, but could be a hardware incompatibility as well. #3, according to this forum, is a possible update or need to fix Windows Defender.

The best advice I can offer, since I have no experience with Win10 Enterprise, is that you update everything. Mostly concentrate on your hardware drivers and double check to make sure that your hardware is all compatible with your motherboard, which it should be from what you've supplied. After that update literally everything else in your OS including Windows Defender, Firewall, and whatever else.

How do you connect to your problematic monitor (VGA, HDMI, DVI)?

How do you connect to your problematic monitor (VGA, HDMI, DVI)?

I connect it through a VGA cable with a KVM switch between 2 pc's. When i connect it through a DVI-D cable the freezes disappear.

A friend of me placed it on my pc, is there some diffrence between pro/home/enterprise?

 

[COLGeek]

Not much difference from the user's perspective, but it is atypical to use Enterprise at home. It is often pirated.

This one is legal my friend works as IT in different company's and he gave me a copy.

 

[COLGeek]

Just because he works IT does not mean he was authorized to give you a copy. Depending on the situation it could be theft.

Have you tried a different vga cable?

I tried 4 diffrent cables all of them came out with a screen freeze but after that i used a DVI-D cable and the freezes were gone.

Is there a difference using the VGA cable when connected directly to the display vs. when connected to the KVM?
