Optimizations for windowed games makes my PC shut down

[joeyvienneau]

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.

Please download and install the latest graphics card drive and see if this error happens again.

I have done a lot of testing. This error occurs regardless of Graphics Driver version. It happened on older versions and on the latest version. It also kept happening even after full reinstall of the operating system. (Re-Imaged from ISO, NOT from Recovery Options/System Restore)

No valid fix to solve this problem?

So there is no valid fix currently?

1.检查系统温度：
在玩游戏时，使用HWMonitor或MSI Afterburner等软件检查CPU和GPU的温度。
如果温度超过安全限制（CPU 和 GPU 通常在 80-85°C 左右），请考虑清洁硬件并改善气流。
确保您的 PC 风扇功能正常，如果过期，请考虑在 CPU/GPU 上重新涂抹导热膏。
2. 电源注意事项：
确保您的电源单元 （PSU） 足以满足您的系统需求，尤其是在您拥有高端 GPU 的情况下。
检查是否有任何松动的电缆或不正确的连接。
3.更新驱动程序：

使您的显卡驱动程序保持最新。您可以使用 GeForce Experience（适用于 NVIDIA）或 Radeon Software（适用于 AMD）等软件来协助更新驱动程序。
4. 游戏设置优化：

降低游戏的分辨率和图形设置以减少系统上的负载。
尝试在全屏模式和窗口模式之间切换，看看是否有所作为。
5. 性能设置：

在 Windows 中，导航到“控制面板”>“电源选项”，然后选择高性能计划。
确保您的系统未设置为省电模式，这可能会降低性能。
6. 后台进程：

关闭任何可能正在消耗系统资源（尤其是 RAM 和 CPU）的不必要的后台应用程序。
7. 病毒和恶意软件检查：

运行完整的系统防病毒/恶意软件扫描，以检查可能干扰系统性能的恶意软件。
8. Windows 更新：

确保您的 Windows 操作系统是最新的。有时，更新可以解决冲突并提高系统稳定性。
