Why does my pc keep randomly freezing?

Question

This has been going on for around 4+ months by now I got my pc about a year ago and it was fine at first but until pretty recently I have been experiencing lots of freezes with my whole computer and some apps like discord Roblox Opera and Epic Games Launcher. About 3 weeks ago I tried shutting my pc off and turning off the power and it worked for like a week and now I'm back with the same problem and turning the power off no longer works. I've also known a huge fps drop I used to run games like Fortnite on high settings at around 200 fps and now I can run it at 200 fps with low settings the fps will also drop to 80 or 100 at times. If anyone could help me that would be great.

My specs are

32gb of ram

i5 13400F

rtx 4070

1tb of storage

Windows 11

Answer 1

Glad to help!

Answer 2

Ok I'm done it seems fine as of right now I'll check back in a few days. Thx

Answer 3

Please try installing a slightly older version of the driver to see if that resolves the problem, if not we can troubleshoot from there.

Answer 4

I don't know if that would work because again it has been happening for a while by now I install the new drivers around every month or less.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

System freezes are very hard to diagnose, but from your description of the problem, most likely, it may be the graphics drivers causing the problem.

Completely remove the current Nvidia device driver using the widely available free DDU utility, then restart your PC and go to the Nvidia website to download and install a slightly older version of the Nvidia device driver.

A slightly older version of that driver is more stable than the latest version.
