Windows 11 sometimes restricts GPU usage to improve performance or stability.
Windows 11 sometimes restricts GPU usage to improve performance or stability.
The issue began roughly a day ago. While gaming, my computer would power off the monitors, stop responding, yet continue playing sound. After restarting, there would be no active graphics driver. The only solution was to turn the RX 6700 back on again after Windows disabled it and reinstalling drivers. Keep in mind, this was just a temporary fix—it started again within about 30 minutes. I’m not sure what to do next. My system specs are: RX 6700, i5 10400F, 32GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 125GB SSD, 700W PSU.
It seems quite unusual... Make sure there isn’t any background power-saving program or antivirus active. Otherwise, consider performing a fresh installation of Windows.
