Show freezing or hanging behavior during property updates
Show freezing or hanging behavior during property updates
Facing an unusual problem with my monitors, I'm struggling to understand what's happening. Every time I connect a new monitor or adjust settings like position, refresh rate, or resolution, I encounter one of three outcomes. Usually, the device attempts to update its properties and then crashes until it restarts. Sometimes it changes settings but freezes on a black screen for 5–15 seconds before switching again. After replacing my CPU, PSU, and GPU, the issue persisted with the older components too. I haven't noticed this before or after swapping the power supply. I also ran a clean Windows installation after installing new hardware. Here are my specs: OS – Windows 11 23h2; CPU – 9950x3D (previous chip was 7900x); GPU – PNY RTX 5080 (old card was 3070 Ti); PSU – CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM1200x (previous was RMx 1000W); MMO – MSI MPG X670E Carbon WIFI; RAM – G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo Series 64GB (2×32GB); Storage – WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD 2TB (firmware 731130WD) plus a Samsung 980 500GB SSD (upcoming update). Any advice would be helpful, except for the monitor replacements. I also experience brief pauses—3 to 5 seconds when logging in and about 30 seconds after login—sometimes the context menu freezes and the explorer stalls for up to half a minute. This seems inconsistent and hard to replicate. The recent drive firmware update from WD seems to have fixed it, even though I did a clean install.
