    Computer fully freezes while I play certain games and only on certain games.


    My computer freezes when I play certain games and these games aren't heavy on the CPU or the GPU. The temperature of both of them is always normal while I play these games as they aren't demanding at all. For example one of the games that the crashes occur on is The Escapists 2 which is not a game that would usually make a computer freeze and I know that my computer is at fault as these freezes very rarely but sometimes would occur without any reason or game. I have replaced my power supply which didn't help and I have performed scans through the command prompt and sometimes it would repair co

    Computer hangs up/freezes when running certain apps

    Hello

    A few weeks ago my computer started completely freezing. When those freezes occur the computer is totally unresponsive and requires a reboot, however they only happen when running certain programs.

    Windows Version number : 1903
    When does it happen?
    • Playing youtube videos (takes a few minutes to freeze on average)
    • Starting certain games (freezes on startup)
    • Answering discord calls
    And i discover new sources all the time so i doubt this is a complete list.

    What did i try so far?
    • Updating the drivers (didn't try to update the BIOS yet but reset it to default)
    • Sfc / chkdsk
    • OCCT (both CPU and GPU test, neither overheated/froze the computer)
    • memtest x86 (4 passes 6 hours, no errors)
    • Swapping GPU (RX-480)

    By this point i was a bit lost so i tried using windows event viewer to no avail.

    As a last attempt i tried to install windows on a new harddrive but the computer froze during installation.

    I'm completely lost and don't know whether my hardware is failing or if it's some kind of software issue.

    Computer fully freezes while I play certain games and only on certain games.

    After playing certain games, the computer is laggy.

    Hi,

    After playing certain games, Kerbal Space Program and Transport Fever specifically, my laptop computer is very laggy and slow to respond. The problem only occurs after I exit the game. Opening File Explorer is rather quick but nothing is displayed. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete I can choose to open the task manager, but only the frame appears. The CPU is not at high load neither during gameplay nor when the problem occurs. The only commonality between the two games as far as I know is that both is run via Steam.

    Neither game is very demanding on my system, and other, more hardware dependent games (also run via Steam) and simulators do not produce this error.

    Is there a way to fix this?
