Computer freezes but sound still continues while gaming
Computer freezes but sound still continues while gaming
I wanted to add my perspective as I experienced a remarkably comparable issue. In my case, the audio would initially cut out followed by the game freezing entirely. I was able to navigate back to the desktop using three fingers smoothly. The computer wasn't experiencing any system lock-ups. I attempted numerous solutions, including updating drivers, replacing my graphics card and memory modules. It took nearly a week to identify the root cause: a faulty hard drive within one of my RAID arrays. Notably, this wasn’t affecting my primary game drive; it was simply a drive consuming significant processing power at specific moments – resembling inserting a CD during gameplay. The drive remained functional, but a speed test revealed the underlying problem. After replacement, the issue resolved itself. I find these diverse causes quite astonishing.
