2024-03-30T02:50:19+00:00 In my case, the problem was resolved by replacing the graphics card. My (6 yr) old Nvidia 1660i began freezing the OS about two weeks ago. I tried all the suggestions listed here, but found the answer by enabling and connecting to the integrated UHD 750 card. There were no issues after that, but I needed a replacement card to resume gaming.
