Hello all!
I first want to give you my build specs.
Ryzen 5 5600X CPU
AMD Radeon 6650XT GPU
32gb 3200mhz 2x16GB RAM (but running at 3133)
1TB Boot Drive m.2
2TB Game Drive m.2
TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WIFI II Motherboard
600W PSU
My PC had been running fine for the last while with few issues, and the ones that did come up I was able to resolve easily, one of which required me to replace the PSU and another requiring me to replace the MOBO. This was a while ago though, and I haven't had any issues for about 4 months. About 2 days ago, the screen would begin to freeze when moving through applications, namely OBS, Discord, Chrome, Edge, and Spotify. Closing the program the second my screen froze seemed to fix it sometimes, but not always, and if it did fix it temporarily, it would freeze when moving around other apps within the next minute. When I say freeze, I mean 1 frame every 10-30 seconds. The odd part is that anything going on on my screen at the time, i.e. in a discord call continues to function. There is a brief period in which nobody can hear me right when it freezes, but while it is still frozen, I can talk like normal and they can hear me despite my screen still just frozen the whole time. I have updated my BIOS (which seemed to go fine), scanned my RAM with the Windows Memory Checker tool, and scanned both of my disks for issues, of which there seemed to be none, and it still freezes. GPU is fully up to date. No bluescreens or anything and Armoury Crate says everything is up to date. To unfreeze my screen, I have to shut down the PC with the power button. There seems to be no specific time frame for which this happens. It could be 2 minutes with the PC on or 20 minutes in. However it doesn't seem to exceed 20 minutes, generally falling in about the 5-10 minute range. Totally variable though. If anyone has any ideas at all, please let me know. I am totally open to feedback.
Thank you!
