If I set a screen saver to run using Windows 11 Screen Saver Settings, after 10 minutes, the screen saver starts to splutter and eventually it freezes my PC needing a hard reset. It doesn't matter what screen saver I pick, they all do the same.
However, if I manually run any screen savers by clicking on their .scr or shortcut, they all run perfectly for hours. So this issue must be related to the built in Windows 11 Screen Saver Settings.
I've got a Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X motherboard with the latest bios.
13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900F
64.0 GB DDR5 RAM
Gigabyte RTX 3060 Graphics card with the latest Nvidia drivers.
I don't see anything show up in event viewer when it freezes.
I'm guessing that the way screen savers work in Windows 11 hasn't changed much since early builds of Windows. Could it be that Screen Saver Settings in Windows 11 isn't compatible with latest hybrid processors.
Has anybody else had this issue and found a fix?
