Steam games freezing computer - Need assistance
Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue with my computer freezing whenever I run Steam games. I have tried a number of troubleshooting steps such as updating drivers, checking for malware, verifying game files, and reinstalling the games themselves, but nothing seems to be working.
Here are my computer specs:
- Device name: MS-7C37
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 3.70 GHz
- Installed RAM: 32.0 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
I have also contacted Microsoft support, and they were not able to resolve the issue. They suggested that I post my issue here on the Insider forum in the hopes that someone else has encountered a similar issue or can offer further assistance.
If anyone has any suggestions or has encountered a similar issue, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your help.

- DRMooTin ContributorYou are not alone. Latest two builds starting from 25346 completely broke Steam - my PC becomes unresponsive or BSODS as soon as I open Steam or try downloading anything. Reddit is also full of posts from people saying this issue is not uncommon. Hopefully, it will get fixed soon.
