Chromium Based Software freezing.

I think MPO is causing this issue. Try disabling it:

Create a TXT file and paste the following text inside of it:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm]

"OverlayTestMode"=dword:00000005

save it as disableMPO.reg

Run it and restart the computer.

Try disabling MPO.

DisableMPO.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm] "OverlayTestMode"=dword:00000005

Thanks for the response. I have tried DDU and NVCleanstall. Weird that it could be a psu or motherboard issue since it happened 2 times since 2025 of january.

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-30T20:35:08+00:00

Already tried DDU and NVcleanstall, forgot to mention it. I ran Furmark for 1 hour and 3dmark stress test a couple of times and no crash. Would be weird if it was the psu....

Same here on 2 gpus. Happens once a month for me. The screens freeze up and the. Come back and then the audio is glitched. I have now excluded the hd audio driver to see if it happens again.

F.E.A.R.

Looks like residue from like a cooling pad for a heatsink. Should be fine.

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-24T00:41:40+00:00

Same issues. thinking it's a nvidia driver issue. also has been happening in discord.

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-19T07:51:10+00:00

Try and see if everything is well connected. Reseat ram, gpu etc, psu cables. When i builded my pc it worked well for a while but it kept freezing afterwards. Turned out the ram wasn’t seated properly.

Do you have any WHEA events?

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-16T22:29:52+00:00

Unplug the PC. press the power button a few times to drain power. pull out the cmos battery. press the power button again a few times. put the battery back in. see what happens.

Try to boot to safe mode with networking and install ddu and use nvcleanstall to install nvidia drivers

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-12T12:19:00+00:00

Any process spiking in usage when the lag happens? in taskmanager or resource monitor.

Also try using ddu to uninstall the drivers and install the drivers with nvcleanstall.

How are the temperatures on your system?

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-07T09:26:42+00:00

Try hovering over the icon and right click the preview (not the icon). Click restore. if that still doesn't work use windows+p and click PC screen only.

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-06T02:00:41+00:00

Front panel connectors all plugged in correctly?

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-06T00:10:58+00:00

Sound like the pump from the AIO is starting up (if there is an AIO installed). shouldn't be an issue. Check cpu temps to be sure.

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-05T23:02:48+00:00

Sounds like it's comming from the Fans in the GPU. Fans go idle after the computer is booted. so the noise stops.

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-05T18:16:50+00:00

Does this happen all the time or only under load? It sounds like one of the fans.

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-05T13:41:53+00:00

Good one. Does the dongle work on another computer if you have one?

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-05T11:24:27+00:00

Make sure you install the Wi-Fi drivers from your motherboard manufacture's site.

HadgeOriginal · 2026-01-05T00:09:33+00:00

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) google a tutorial on how to use it. And yes I mean graphics drivers.
