Resolved: Random disruptions in visual and sound output during gameplay.
Occasionally, while I’m enjoying titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2 or Grand Theft Auto V, my screen and sound suddenly freeze together—it’s not a common occurrence but when it does occur, it’s quite irritating due to its obvious nature. However, this doesn't manifest with games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, where it has never occurred. I suspect this might be linked to my hard drive; CSGO is installed on a solid-state drive, while the other games reside on a traditional hard disk. My PC’s temperatures are within acceptable limits, and it possesses sufficient performance to handle these games, leaving me uncertain about the root cause of this issue.
The data resided on the hard disk, but I purchased the solid-state drive and set it up in its place.
Try installing the rest of your games on your SSD. For the SSD to make a difference, your applications have to be on the same storage device as your operating system. This might be your problem. I would only use the HDD as a sort of backup for personal files. What are your full system specs?
I would add an additional 8 gigabytes of memory as well. It’s alleged that 8 gigabytes is sufficient, however, 16 gigabytes would be a more appropriate benchmark for gaming performance.
