I recently got a new prebuilt PC, and within a week of redownloading all my files and games from my previous PC, the computer continuously freezes and becomes completely unresponsive when gaming. It happens at random times and seems to differ between games. I have done everything I possibly can to remedy this issue, from scanning and repairing drivers, drives, reseating my GPU and RAM, installing HW monitor to ensure my temps are not skyrocketing and the voltage/wattage is sufficient, going into BIOS to make sure nothing is overclocked and the RAM is set to the correct MHz, running the windows memory diagnostic tool, etc. Everything that has been posted on youtube and other forums, I am almost positive I have tried. Absolutely nothing works and no matter what I do, the freezes keep occurring. The strange thing is when my PC becomes unresponsive, I can still hear my friends continuing to talk in discord but they cannot hear me. I am not sure what else to do about this other than to seek help here or to return the PC and just build another one on my own.

I've been experiencing the same issue as everyone else in this thread. Windows 11 randomly stops working and it's annoying that this bug hasn't been fixed. This bug/error started for me back in December of 2023 and OP created this post back in May of 2023.
I haven't tried this yet, but maybe roll back to Windows 10 if you can. Microsoft, you gotta fix your OS 🙏
So idk I'd this will help anyone else... I did the system fle checker command and dism...then I also turned off the aero theme thing. It's the thing that makes program windows and your Taskbar semi see through and after that I never had a problem again.
Same exact Issue with me. Built a new gaming rig and transitioned my current gaming rig into my work from home rig. This machine ran flawlessly on Windows 10 for 4 years. Only change was wiping it clean (not just an upgrade) and installing Windows 11 and I now have 3 monitors instead of 1.
locks up at random , usually with frozen audio. doesn't matter what is open. could be everyday or once every 3 days. Very annoying

Having the same issue. What version of the Nvidia GPU driver were you using and what did you role back to? I understand this will be dependent on whatever driver you have.
That's something I haven't tried. I updated the Nvidia driver after this started, I'll try going back 2 updates
