Hi!
I’ve been facing unexpected freezing and stuttering without any visible errors in the event viewer. I tried a fresh Windows installation last night and tested again today, but the problem persists and it’s really hard to reproduce. Both monitors briefly freeze before resetting as if a new display had just been connected (only two are linked), even though I’m not entirely sure how to describe it. It mostly happens when playing "Destiny 2," and I’ve played for over five years without any issues, with specs well above the recommended range (I can share details if needed).
I’m struggling to figure out what to do next and would really appreciate any advice or recommendations to help troubleshoot. The RAM usage never exceeds 70%, and the game runs at about 50% load.
Any suggestions would be very helpful, and please don’t hesitate to ask if you need more clarity.
Thanks!
Update your post with complete hardware details and operating system information.
Power Supply Unit: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original, new, refurbished, used)?
Storage devices: specification of each drive (make, model, capacity, current usage)?
Also review the reliability history or monitoring logs.
Check update history for any failed or problematic updates.
Open Task Manager to examine startup activity – any unfamiliar or unexpected processes?
Consider Task Scheduler as another potential source; it might trigger related events.
In general, it seems the behavior could be intentional or unintentional, but it’s wise to investigate further for any anomalies.
