Optimizations for windowed games makes my PC shut down
Hi everyone,
Many people have suggested that I turn on the following setting to improve my gaming experience however this setting has resulted in nothing but pain.
When I turn this setting on everything is fine until I try to tab in between my different monitors a few times (I have a 1440p, 60hz main monitor and two other 1080p, 60hz monitors, games are normally ran on my 1440p monitor). If I go from my game to one of my other monitors, and then back to my game in somewhat casual but quick succession my system will power down and restart.
When this happens there is no error. No GPU driver timeout. No crash dump. Not even a single event in Event Viewer (one would expect errors there but there is none, not even information level events)
This issue also has persisted through multiple full OS re-imaging from a new boot media which lends me to think that it might be hardware or system configuration related.
My system has the following specifications:
Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3880)
Ryzen 5 3600 (not overclocked, PBO not enabled, running on default out of box settings, up to date chipset drivers)
Radeon RX 6700 XT (not overclocked, running on default out of box settings, up to date drivers)
X570 Chipset motherboard (ASUS x570 Pro, BIOS is of the latest release)
Corsair RM 850x 850W (80 Plus Gold certified)
Please note that I have also verified that I am neither thermal throttling nor am I getting anywhere near high temps under full system stress test. My peak temperatures are less than 80C on both GPU and CPU.
I have validated the CPU, Memory and GPU through a lot of benchmarks and stress testing. No errors from them and all of them passed every test.
Has anyone else ran into this issue and is there a solution?
I’ve scoured the internet for a solution but I was unable to find one.. all I find is posts saying how great this option is and how to turn it on.
