Since the beginning of September my computer has been randomly freezing when I'm streaming videos online such as youtube, netflix, or twitch. It doesn't matter where I'm streaming, it'll either happen in a few minutes or within a hour or two. It's gotten so bad, if I a video or GIF is playing on twitter it'll trigger whatever the issue is. The videos stutter for a bit and then stop playing and the sound stops. I can still move my mouse around but anything I click on doesn't respond. The only option I have is to hold the power button down to force a shut down.
My PC is only three months old and it's the first computer I've ever built. Up till now it's ran flawlessly and really fast. My wife is giving me a lot of side eye cause she wanted to buy another mac like we always do but this time I was able to convince her to try building our own.
Funny thing, we can play any game or stream music for extended periods of time with ZERO issues.
Things I've tried:
Uninstalled and reinstalled latest GPU drivers
Rolled back GPU to previous drivers
Ran a Malwarebytes scan and found nothing
Switched browsers
Checked all my cables and PSU
My ram is installed correctly and pressed all the way down
Thermals are good
I've messed with the browser options
No hardware changes since it was built
Posted on reddit and got zero help
Screamed at it
Bashed my head into the desk cause I can't believe I've spent more time trying to fix it than enjoying it
Specs
CPU: Ryzen 3 3300x
GPU: MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 2060 Super
Mobo: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb 3600mhz
Storage: Crucial P1 500GB M.2 and Barracuda 2TB 3.5 7200 RPM
