I have this weird issue with it that I just can't seem to figure out and it's driving me crazy. I can game for hours from mild load of Overwatch 2 to heavy load of Oblivion Remastered or Doom The Dark Ages and it will never have any problems. But on desktop, what I usually do is have Youtube or other streaming video in PiP (Picture in Picture) and do other things like edit photos or browse web and suddenly, system would just lockup/freeze, sound would turn into static noise loop and this would go on for up to 30 seconds after which system unfreezes and everything is back in order like nothing happened. GPU crash detection is not triggered, there is nothing in Windows Event logs other than network reinitializing yellow exclamation trinagles after the lockup/freeze. I thought Firefox was causing this, but after switching to Vivaldi for several days and it just happened again. I just don't get it.
I've tested with everything stock, CPU, RAM, graphic card, still happening. Done memtest on RAM, all fine. I've removed my AE-9 dedicated soundcard and ran onboard audio for days and it still happened. I can't think of anything else being the issue other than graphic card which is the most "recent" addition and I've never had such issue with RTX 3080 prior (I've done clean system reinstall for Radeon). And the weird thing is, heavy load in games is not an issue where I could potentially blame PSU for it. But on desktop with minimal load. How does that make any sense?! I've also gone through several drivers, but I really can't go back to release drivers where I don't remember the issues, but they were bad for everything else, especially Radeon Chill and AFMF.
Any other idea because this is really stupid and it's annoying me so much.
