Hey there. I’ve faced a similar issue with my PC too. While playing CSGO, the game would freeze for about five seconds and then restart for thirty seconds. After booting up, it would begin every five minutes, but after about two hours in, I had to quit the match. Do you have any advice? Here’s what I know: I’m using a Palit StormX 1650 with a GIGABYTE H410 and a 10100F GPU, paired with an 8GB 2666 CL18 RAM. It doesn’t overheat, though it reaches around 50°C under load. I’m running at 1024x768 resolution with 300fps, but I’ve set the FPS max to 75. The GPU usage is low at about 20%, and CPU usage is around 40% during gameplay. I recently updated the NVIDIA driver, which helped for a while—then it would stop completely for a day before resuming. I’ve restarted the driver multiple times (using Win+Shift+Ctrl+B) but nothing changed. Even when I’m just browsing YouTube or using light tasks, it freezes again whenever I move the mouse to interact with the player UI. It seems to only freeze during rendering tasks, not constantly. Could this mean my GPU is faulty? I really hope not, since I don’t have a warranty and it’s been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
