Within moments of starting a game, my computer becomes unresponsive. Distorted audio remains briefly, and voices on Discord continue before the connection drops completely. I’ve had to force shutdown and restart several times. Once or twice it has fully recovered without a shutdown. Occasionally I see flickering green or red dots on my monitor. Streaming on Discord also causes freezing, unlike YouTube. When the freeze occurs and I don’t shut it down, it restarts itself but won’t boot normally. The CPU fan lights up on the motherboard until I manually power off and restart. Specs: B450 Tomahawk Ryzen 5 2600 GTX 960 with 2x Crucial DDR4-2400 4GB Seasonic FOCUS GM-750, 750W 80+ Gold. I tried replacing each RAM separately but the issue stayed. My PSU is new, so I suspect the GPU might be the culprit. I’m not sure and would appreciate any advice.
