If you possess a supplemental graphics card, attempt to replicate the freezing issue by using it. If the problem doesn't occur with a different GPU, we might be able to pinpoint the source of the issue. I’m unable to test with a second card, but I can use Furmark. I've experimented with performance tests like 3D Mark and Heaven, neither of which has triggered the freeze—although I only ran them for approximately 30 minutes each. I plan to investigate obtaining another GPU.
Recently, I ran tests for over an hour, consistently maintaining temperatures around 83°C. However, the freezing persists during gameplay, occurring in shorter durations. Avoid excessive use of benchmarking software; 83°C is potentially too high. Consider utilizing your integrated graphics by disabling your dedicated GPU and observing if the freezing issue returns. Also, try Prime95, which performs a comprehensive stress test of both your CPU and RAM simultaneously – mimicking gaming load without relying on the GPU. Monitor temperatures during multiple passes of this test.
Look, I think I've found a possible solution, you should go to the Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Power Options, Change Settings, Change Advanced Settings, Processor Power Manager, Maximum Processor State, if it's 100% lower to 80%, apply the changes. If it continues to cause you reduce the problem until you see that it no longer blocks you anymore.
You tell me if it served you.
