New computer frequently freezes and blacks out after installing Atlas OS
Win11+Atlas OS new machines frequently experience taskbar freezes and system unresponsiveness with black screens. Is this a system compatibility issue?

Hi EmmettBrooks,
It sounds like your new machine might be running into compatibility issues between Windows 11 and Atlas OS. I’d suggest checking for the latest drivers and updates, especially graphics and chipset drivers. Also, try booting in safe mode to see if the freezes still happen—it can help isolate whether it’s a software or hardware problem.
