I play about half an hour of Minecraft and my PC stops completely—no sound, no BSOD, everything freezes and stays still. The keyboard and RGB lights don’t respond at all. I can only perform a hard reset. It seems like the issue isn’t from overheating since the machine isn’t warm, and it handles other games well for extended periods. I’ve changed my BIOS settings by repositioning the silver circle on the motherboard and haven’t overclocked anything. My specs are an i5 6600k, GTX 1060 Z170A, 16GB RAM, running Optifine 1.13.2. The problem started during multiplayer and single-player sessions with a friend. I think it might be related to Java, but I’m not sure.
Optifine can be quite picky... lots of Minecraft mods tend to be this way I use his.
