Question My device stops working after full screen usage
Question My device stops working after full screen usage
I purchased a new computer and retained my old SSD and GPU, yet I've faced the same problem for ten consecutive hours without success. Opening apps or games in fullscreen or borderless mode causes the taskbar to freeze, preventing any functionality except mouse movement. I've attempted nearly everything—from clearing graphics drivers via DDU, turning off fullscreen optimizations, adjusting refresh rates, scanning for file corruption, tweaking TdrDelays—to no avail. Please help identify the cause if possible.
You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age. Please mention the BIOS version for your motherboard as well.
I bought a new computer and kept my old ssd and gpu with it but have been troubleshooting the same issue for 10 hours straight now to no avail.
Did you reinstall the OS after your platform migration? If not, that's the root of your troubles.
My PSU is an MSI mag A650BN and I purchased it just three days ago. I'm unsure how to verify my BIOS version. I was never asked to reinstall Windows during startup, and now it says Windows isn't activated. Is there a way to resolve this without spending another 200 dollars on a Windows 10 key?
if you connected your old Windows SSD to the new motherboard, Windows will try to load but it will perceive two different hardware configurations. One from your old board that isn’t working and another that works automatically. Typically, a fresh installation would be better, but you could open the Windows Control Panel and Device Manager, look for hidden devices, remove any greyed-out ones, then restart via BIOS and adjust the BIOS settings or update it. After rebooting, contact your motherboard manufacturer to update drivers. Don’t forget to refresh the power connections from the PSU to the GPU, especially if you’re using an external power supply. Many users prefer a complete reinstall instead of trying repairs. Running cmd.exe as an administrator and executing dism.exe with the /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth option can help if the installation is damaged or compromised.
