Why Does My PC Keep Freezing During Games?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm having a frustrating issue with my PC where it randomly freezes for several moments, especially during heavy gaming sessions. I've already replaced the CPU, RAM, and SSD, plus reinstalled Windows 11, but the problem persists. The specs of my build are: ASUS Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard, Intel i9 13900KS CPU, Corsair Dominator 64GB RAM, NVIDIA 3080ti GPU, and a Corsair HX1000 power supply. I checked the event viewer and found a specific error that seems to occur at the time of the freezing—any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, with Intel CPUs, they can sometimes have stability issues. It might be worth testing with a different CPU, or checking if there’s a BIOS update that could resolve compatibility issues.

Have you checked your PSU? The Corsair HX1000 should be powerful enough, but if it’s malfunctioning or there’s a power spike, that could cause freezes. You might also want to make sure all your drivers are up to date, especially the GPU drivers.

It's good you mentioned the PSU. The Corsair HX1000 is typically reliable, but if you have any doubts or if it's older, it might not be delivering consistent power under heavy loads. Testing with a different PSU could help rule that out.
