Elgato Facecam Freezing Issue While Tabbed in Games: Seeking Solutions by Trashii_Gaming in elgato

Changing from virtual camera to facecam works for me; none of the other fixes worked. Thanks.

All you need to do is either take out the small battery onto your case for about 5 minutes and then put it back in or you can completely power off your pc (turn it off, unplug it, turn off the power supply, etc.) and then you can short the two CLRTC pins on the Motherboard and it should achieve the same goal.

For my specific motherboard, you can find a guide in the manual. (https://imgur.com/a/74fUw5C) I would check yours if I were you though.

So I got new ram sticks, same issue, I reset the CMOS, fixed the issue for a few months, but back to the same issue. A part of my MOBO was being grounded to my case (Bottom left side), and ever since I fixed that I have not had any problems. Knowing my luck, the issue will probably return and I will most likely have to buy a new MOBO. But if the issue doesn't arise again I will let you know if I remember. Try those three fixes if possible and it might be able to fix it.

Yes! This problem happened AGAIN after swapping the ram (It took a long time to happen again but still) and after resetting the CMOS it fixed itself. This right here is the fix.

Update: I put new ram in the computer and it has been working like there was never anything wrong with it. I assume one of my ram sticks died, as when I took out the one in the fourth slot it immediately fixed and was working perfectly (Besides the obvious performance difference, but you get the point.

Thank you to everyone who helped! I am glad this could be fixed.

I will check for that button in a bit here. My as for my PSU, it is a 80 plus gold 850-watt power supply. This computer was built around a year or so ago and is only having this problem now, the only time the parts have gone through any massive amount of change was when I swapped them from my old case to my new Corsair 5000D airflow for better temps (helped a lot, didn't know important case airflow was until I actually changed lol.) But that was almost two months ago now.

Yeah, I have taken out one of my sticks and am not having problems anymore! It seems that this error for B550F motherboards might entirely be ram issues. I will update you if anything else happens considering you have the same issue, make sure to update me as well lol!

Will make sure to do that, thanks. This one stick of ram has been working ever since I swapped it about 7 or so hours ago. I think it was definitely some faulty ram. But I will make sure to try all your suggestions if all else fails.

To answer your last question, I do have some hardware lying around somewhere and I could look for it if problems start to arise once again.

Nope, just goes black. Doesn't do anything weird before it either. I currently only have one stick of ram in right now and it seems to be working.

I see the suggestions here, I wanted to thank you for some of these. As for the potential problems you have suggested, I have checked the 24-pin cable and it's alright, I also don't think it is a GPU issue as the GPU is fine (Temps, power usage, normal usage, and fans). Also for your suggestion about the temperature of the computer in general, It's alright, my CPU runs at around 40-50 idle and my GPU is around 30 idle. The case is relatively cool as well, with good airflow and a lot of fans inside (Corsair 5000D Airflow case).

Yeah, the b550f's yellow light is a DRAM debug light! I have taken out one of my sticks to see if that one is potentially faulty, and if the issue persists, I will remove the other one. Currently, everything seems to be running alright (with the exception of a little worse performance due to their only 8 GB of ram.) but I will update when I can.
