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

    My first issue with it was on a 1080 and I ended up underclocking my GPU and that fixed the problem (For a while). I ended up getting a new computer but used Windows Back up to restore a system image into the new computer. SAME problem but completely different system setup (Underclocking no longer applied on the new system). I had a 3080 TI so what are the chances?? Had to be some type of driver issue but different cards? Tried DDU multiple times and no luck. Backed everything up, formatted the drive, reinstalled windows. Running with no issues for the last 6 months. Passed the computer to my Nephew and he is still funning good. I honestly think there is some old driver bug hanging around that the DDU can not get rid of.

    I changed out motherboard (different manufacturer), CPU, Memory, GPU with both Win10 and Win11 and never found the cause. The two GPU's I had was an RTX 4090 and a RTX 3090 Founders Edition. Nvidia has been able to duplicate the issue on two different systems but have not been able to identify the cause... For now I'm running an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX.

    Only the native driver (installed during setup) for Win11 and Nvidia driver version 532.03 did not cause the error on boot...

    Sure do brother. If the changing ram fixes the issue then I'll buy one too.

    Confirmed this fixed the issue for me. Crashing on Sekiro and GTAO. Also found that if you're using wallpaper engine, make sure you go through settings and turn off hardware acceleration on there too. In fact turn it off on EVERYTHING, browser included.
