PC fails to load assets and then freezes
My pc has been experiencing freezing issues when trying to play games. Initially, it works well for various titles such as Overwatch 2 and CS2, but after a short time it fails to load the HUD. Players' characters then appear as blue floating orbs, audio stops in both the game and other apps like Discord or the browser, and the system freezes. Sometimes it jumps straight into freezing, but always occurs while playing a game. When frozen, I can sometimes close the tab but cannot exit the game or interact with any applications.
I have attempted several solutions including adjusting game settings, reinstalling Windows, resetting the game, scanning for viruses, removing GPU and CPU overclocks, reverting to older drivers, stress testing the CPU and GPU, and monitoring performance during gameplay where I noticed occasional drops in usage.
I am still unsure of further steps and would appreciate any advice or help in diagnosing and fixing this problem.
