Hello all, I've recently encountered a problem where my computer frequently freezes and becomes slow, and I'm not sure what's causing it; any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
At the moment, I own three Dell S2716DGR monitors and a Hisense TV that duplicates my main display. The TV was turned off when I noticed the freezing episodes.
The issue appears to occur at any time, whether I'm playing games or just browsing the web. During these freezes, all my monitors freeze for about five seconds. I've observed various reactions from each screen—some flash black briefly, others show other windows adjusting their resolution before returning to normal. Usually, when this happens, my mouse freezes and the cursor jumps across the screen while the computer tries to resolve what's happening.
I've kept the Task Manager open during these incidents, but I haven't seen any usage exceed 70%, and most times it stays under 50%.
It seems like a monitor connection problem, but any advice would be valuable.
Below is my current setup:
CPU – Intel Core i9-9900K Desktop Processor, 8 cores, up to 5.0 GHz, Turbo unlocked, LGA1151, 300 Series, 95W
Video Card – GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING OC, 8GB GDDR6, 3 x WINDFORCE fans
Motherboard – ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi), Z390 Gaming Board, Intel 8th/9th Gen, ATX, DDR4, HDMI, M.2, USB 3.1 Gen2, Wi-Fi 802.11AC
Memory – Corsair LPX 32GB (2x16GB) at 3200MHz, C16 DDR4
Storage – Multiple Samsung SSDs (1TB, 2.5", SATA III)
Power Supply – CORSAIR RMx Series RM1000X, 1000W, 80 PLUS Gold, Haswell Ready
Monitor – Two Dell Gaming S2716DGR 27.0" LED screens with G-SYNC support

What is the age of your PSU? Which BIOS version is installed on your motherboard? Look for a reliable replacement PSU without purchasing it, and check if the problem continues. You might also attempt to uninstall all GPU drivers via DDU (Intel, AMD, Nvidia), then reinstall using the latest driver from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, such as right-clicking the installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
