PC freezing without clear cause
PC freezing without clear cause
Hello, my computer frequently freezes for 2 to 5 minutes after startup. I can't launch any apps that weren't pre-installed on my system (Debian 12, where Windows keeps reporting a "missing media driver error"). Despite running CPU and GPU stress tests without freezing, changing storage, and trying two different RAM brands, the issue persists. However, web-based games like 1v1.lol work fine, while everyday tasks cause freezing. Any suggestions for the cause or solutions? Ironically, my computer didn’t freeze while writing this.

Might the issue stem from an unreliable driver, faulty disk sectors, or a malfunctioning background application? Have you attempted to run a live USB to determine if the problem persists?
