I'm prepared to go into as great of detail as is necessary, but I'll just summarize for right now to gauge if it's worth the endeavor so I'll try to be concise.
I'm on windows 11, which from as far as I can tell (hard to pinpoint the issue due to its oddity) was when this issue began, back when 11 first became available outside of beta, when I switched from 10 to 11. I've got an Asus 8GB RTX 2060 Super, an i9-9900k, 32GB gskill trident 3200Mhz RAM (8gb 4x), in an MSI Z390-A Pro.
My issue is that seemingly unprovoked, my GPU has manifested this behavior that, when something occurs that would normally crash the video driver (mostly just by asking way too much from the card, 4k ray tracing, whatever, coupled with a perhaps overzealous at times core clock adjustment from afterburner(none of which is new as far as my use of the card and the before and after of this issue is concerned)) my audio will persist streaming content (from a background youtube video) but my screen is frozen, I can move the mouse, but other than that, the system is entirely unresponsive to anything other than a hard power reset, when before it would just crash the video driver, close the offending program, and restart video all on its own without any major loss of anything other than whatever I might have been doing in game.
Long story short, instead of crashing under an unstable load, my GPU now seems to be causing a pseudo-freeze rather than killing the process that instructed the load.
My event viewer seems to be uncooperative in this matter due to the only error I can see (with my limited expertise with the tool) is a critical that occurs upon restarting stating along the lines of an improper or unexpected shutdown or loss of power occurred (I forget the exact language, but that's the gist)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, even if it may not lead to resolution, and I'm an open book in terms of any sort of logs or questions or checks anyone might want to see or have me try. Thanks in advance!
