Hello my PC: Your system runs at 108500K with a 4800MHz clock, featuring 2x16GB DDR4 RAM and the GSKILL 3200MHz XMP profile from Seasonic. The XTX-850 Ultra Titanium M-series RTX 3090 is connected via USB-C, paired with a 1TB SSD. Windows 10 is installed, updated to the latest H20 version. I recently set it up a month ago on a brand-new machine. Everything seems stable so far—games run smoothly without crashes. The PC operates around the clock, and for most of my idle time it’s been quiet.

When I open Google Chrome, it starts slowly and responsiveness drops. The mouse works fine, but everything freezes after a few seconds. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE shows a black screen with a blue circle instead of the mouse arrow, and both keyboard and caps lock stop working. Windows locks itself after this. I forced a hard reset to try to fix it.

Possible issues: The system feels unstable during idle periods, and Chrome behaves oddly. No errors appear in Event Viewer. It seems the problem might be related to background services or driver conflicts. I’ve tried restarting and checking for updates, but nothing resolves the slowdowns.

PS: My NZXT cam was running in the background, along with Epic Launcher and Steam. Karhu RAM test lasted 3 hours without issues. No crashes in games, and the PC isn’t overclocked—only XMP enabled.
