There isn't really a time that it freezes, it does it randomly. I haven't made any changes but I did move my computer next to a vent. I initially thought maybe it was overheating because of it but whenever i check my temp on Core Temp the max is always in the 50 degree range. It actually froze as I was just writing this response

I have a AMD Ryzen 5600X and my GPU is a 1080. I am going to buy either the 5070ti or 5080 when they are released.

Only other relevant thing I can think of is for whatever reason when I force shutdown after the freeze and restore pages on my browser, it brings me back to pages I had saved over a week or 2 ago.

Are you running Win11 24H2? I have the same setup (3080 instead of 1080) and my system had the same issue when I would play PoE 2. I would check any recent OS and hardware/software updates.

Your GPU might need to be re-pasted. Also, when is the last time you checked for any BIOS updates?

Nah I was talking about his graphics card. The thermal paste can dry up and negatively impact performance over time. His CPU is newer so I would think it’s fine, unless there wasn’t enough thermal applied the first time.

that might be true.
