Hello!

A few games are crashed after a few minutes of gaming. The mouse got stuck for a few seconds after I'm able to alt+tab but the game process is not responding.

I found the following errors and warnings in the Windows event logs:

**-the first one:**Warning 7/18/2022 8:46:11 PM WHEA-Logger 17 None

    What if I only have this problem when I play the game on dx12? Also it happened only during low(60%) CPU usage, never had it happen before at high(99%) usage. On dx11 it run completely flawless.

    This error is caused by a new feature called HAGS that's enabled by default on Windows 11, disable it as follows:

    Click on Start > Settings > System > Display. Scroll down on the right, and click on Graphics for Windows 11 or Graphic settings for Windows 10. Windows 11 users need to next click on Change default graphics settings. Toggle the Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (HAGS) option off.

    \Device\Video5  Error occurred on GPUID: 100On est des milliers alors a avoir de la ram défectueuse ... Parce que le problème c'est les drivers Nvidia , c'est a partir de l'apparition des nouvelles cartes 4090 que les problèmes ont commencé et la ayant acheté une 4090 je suis emmerdé continuellement ce sont des plantages complétement aléatoire sur certains jeux fermeture de l'appli et retour windows instantané.

    I am glad someone posted this. I thought it was faulty video card, turns out it was a bad RAM stick. When i built my computer a year ago, I did long memtest, but i guess the issue only occurs when combined by playing or graphic intensive process (for example: RTX)

    Once i took out the bad one RAM stick, all the games i have ever had problem with random crashing started working great

    YES, THIS IS THE ANSWER!

    I suffered with this problem for 3.5 years before finding the same solution a few months ago.

    Again, it was a faulty DIMM stick (RAM).

    Just removed 1 stick, rebooted the PC, then powered off, swapped the sticks and booted again.

    Presto! PC wouldn't boot at all with one of the sticks removed, but worked perfectly fine with only the other one, and no crashes. 1 bad DIMM stick.

    Bought new DRAM about 3 months ago and never had the issue again.

    TL;DR: CHECK YOUR RAM.

    Edit 2022.12.11: typos corrected. Still working fine.
