PC performance freezing within games and also when the game is not running.
PC performance freezing within games and also when the game is not running.
My PC typically functions correctly, but recently I’ve observed several anomalies. Most games freeze after approximately one hour of gameplay and become unresponsive, requiring termination through Task Manager. Occasionally, my entire system crashes completely, with audio continuing to play while the rest of the computer freezes. This necessitates a hard power-off, and the system often fails to restart for a few minutes afterward. I initially suspected thermal issues, but temperatures remain consistently low. Furthermore, the fans intermittently operate at high speeds despite normal temperature readings. I would appreciate assistance in identifying potential causes and troubleshooting solutions.
