Hey everyone! After I upgraded my PC from Windows 10 to 11, I've been experiencing random restarts and freezes. There's no blue screen of death, and it happens whether I'm gaming, watching YouTube, or just browsing the desktop. My system has been rock solid since 2020 and I only had a couple of crashes before the upgrade. Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 FE
- Cooler: NZXT Kraken X53 Liquid Cooler
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming
- HDD: Samsung 2TB 870 QVO 2.5" SATA III
- SSD: WD 1TB Black SN750 NVMe
- RAM: 32GB DDR4
- PSU: EVGA 850 Watt
Peripherals include a Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT mouse, HyperX Cloud II headset, Acer Predator 27" XB273K monitor, and an RGB Corsair K70 MK.2 keyboard.
I'm wondering if this could be a driver issue or something else? Happy to share logs from the event viewer if that would help. Any suggestions would be great!

It sounds like your issue might relate to the new OS compatibility with drivers or software. I recommend running a system info tool to gather logs that'll help us troubleshoot better. You can check out this tool that gathers detailed system information. Just download it, run it, and share the link it gives you after the scan. This will help pinpoint the problem! Let’s try to get to the bottom of this.
Given that your system was stable on Windows 10, it might be worth checking if your drivers are up to date since sometimes they don't automatically get upgraded during an OS update. Look specifically for GPU and chipset updates. Also, running the event viewer logs can give you more insight into what might be causing the crashes.
You could also run a memory test just to check if your RAM might be causing issues. Sometimes after an upgrade, things can get a bit wonky with memory. Windows Memory Diagnostic tool is built-in and should help you out without needing any extra downloads!
