Problem with sudden crashes and freezing behavior.
Problem with sudden crashes and freezing behavior.
I switched to Windows 10 Pro and the following day it upgraded to Windows 11. Now I experience occasional freezes where the screen locks up but the game or video still plays through audio. I’m completely confused about what’s happening. Any assistance would be really helpful.

I really don’t understand how to verify the newest BIOS version, though I’ve installed the most recent GPU drivers right away.
Go to BIOS settings and since you're using a Gigabyte board, update the BIOS via Q Flash (or Q Flash+ on certain models). Ensure you've downloaded the newest chipset drivers before proceeding. Verify your motherboard's revision—incorrect one might prevent the update. Be aware of the potential risks involved with a BIOS update.
