Problem with PC freezing after 15 minutes of gameplay
Problem with PC freezing after 15 minutes of gameplay
I just returned my PC from the shop after swapping parts. Now, whenever I try games, they freeze after about 15 minutes on both Game Pass and Steam. After running Memtest and other diagnostics, I found an error message I saw earlier. It looks like this might be related—any thoughts on fixing it? I checked the fixes that pop up online.
We require additional information and details. Please share the PC specifications before and after. Were any hardware modifications made? Was there a blue screen of death? Did you observe any error messages? Was this occurrence once or repeatedly? Any particular event seemed to trigger it?
The repair didn’t change anything; they replaced the RAM, WiFi, and riser cable with new ones. Specifications stayed the same. The system now uses 2x 16GB DDR5 5200 i9-12900K RAM on an ASUS Strix Z690-F WiFi 6E motherboard. It runs Windows 11 with Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD. No crashes or blue screens occur during gameplay, even at the 29-minute mark. Performance remains stable across various games—both AAA titles and indie releases on Steam and Game Pass. The issue seems to be related to idle freezes or unexpected shutdowns.
