Hello, hope I’m on the right section on internal hardware!
To explain my issue in further detail, my monitors will often both freeze on whatever frame they were on and stay that way until forced shutdown. Audio works fine during this time (if I’m listening to music for example) but I can’t see anything other than the freeze frame on my computer. Ctrl Alt Delete of course also doesn’t do anything (or it does, and I just can’t see it). This might be a peripherals issue but as my two monitors are of a different age and make i guessed something to do with the gpu. It’s noteworthy I also hear the fans on the computer speeding up once the monitors freeze. Computer was a prebuilt and is about 5 years old now, and I have been dusting and applying thermal paste to the cpu and gpu.
I think that covers anything, but if anyone has questions that would help lead into a solution or an answer I would really appreciate it!
