I've been experiencing some freezing issues while playing games, and I've heard some people suggest that disabling the integrated GPU in the BIOS might help. Do you think this is a good idea to fix the freezing problem, or are there better solutions I should consider?

It might help a bit since it could reduce power usage and heat, giving more resources to your CPU. However, the issue might just be Fortnite’s way of loading shaders on the fly, so it could resolve itself after some gameplay. Persistent problems might indicate deeper issues.
Are the freezes happening with specific games or after a certain time? I’d recommend checking other potential issues first—make sure your drivers are updated and your settings are optimized. If you're using an NVIDIA card, there are plenty of guides online for tweaking settings specific to your hardware.
Disabling the integrated GPU probably won't make much of a difference, but it doesn't hurt to try. If you're dealing with freezing, it could be worth testing it to see if it helps.
Have you checked your stats during gameplay? Look for anything unusual, like high memory or SSD usage. It’s likely not linked to the integrated GPU.
If you're curious, why not just disable it and see what happens? It’s probably just as quick as asking here.
