Hey everyone, So I recently bought a new gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion 5 - R7-5800h - RTX 3060) and have been dealing with a really annoying problem. I have been playing Valorant, and although the game runs great while playing it, when I then close the game by exiting to desktop, it has a 50/50 chance of freezing my whole PC. It allows me to move my cursor, but I cannot click anything or do anything on the PC. My only option is to then force shut down the laptop by holding the power button. I also have an issue where if I Alt-Tab or Windows key and open something it also has a chance of doing the same thing, but I have heard this is a common issue with Windows 11 so it doesnt worry me too much, although a friend of mine with the exact same laptop was also having the same issue, but it has seemed to stop for him over the last 2 weeks. He didnt change anything, it just stopped. I was hoping the issue would fix itself but it doesnt seem to. Now I am wondering if its a windows issue, or an issue with the laptop itself. I am running Windows 11, the laptop has 16gb of RAM in Dual Channel, 500gb SSD, I am also running it through a Dock to external monitors. The provided power brick is always being used and am using the performance mode setting. Does anyone know how I can possibly fix this? Thanks!
