So as the title says I recently (about 2 months ago) got prompted by Windows to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11. Now my PC will freeze and the only way to get it to work again is by powering it off and rebooting it. So far it's only happened while my PC is under load, and it occurs randomly as far as I can tell there isn't something specific that triggers it and causes it to happen. I'll just be gaming and BOOM, freeze. It never happened up until I swapped from Windows 10 to 11 so I don't believe it would be a hardware issue and upon googling it seems to be a known and prominent issue with Windows 11. A couple people I know IRL have also had the issue after swapping to 11, they never did with Windows 10. So all that being said does anyone know of a fix for this? I've done a lot of googling and tried a list of different things but so far google hasn't been very helpful, majority of the results I find all suggest trying similar things. Hardware: ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Ryzen 9 5900x Trident Z Neo 32gb 3600mhz (dual channeled and D.O.C.P is on) Powercolor Red Devil 6700xt Thermaltake 750w 1TB M.2 (I don't remember who makes it, bought it a long time ago) Kraken x73 AIO If anyone can help me that'd be great, if not I'm just gonna reinstall Windows 10 and see if that fixes it but I was hoping to fix the issue so I know what the problem was.

Windows 11 is current. I haven’t checked my PC temperatures recently, they were normal the last time I looked. Chipset is up to date; I haven’t installed a new BIOS yet, so it might not be updated. The BIOS is current. GPU drivers are up to date. DOCP is active, the crash occurs intermittently with it. I haven’t tested the RAM, I don’t own a 3DMark test tool. I ran some CMD scans and found corrupted files, which I fixed, but the crash persists. After that, sfc /scannow didn’t detect any issues. I haven’t run a Windows Memory Diagnostic yet.
