Whole computer freezes when exiting full screen.

Recently I've been having some issues with my RX 6600XT. Everything started when I tabbed out of my CS:GO game to pause my Spotify music. When I tabbed back into CS:GO it was running at about 2fps, sometimes recovering to the normal performance, but then dropping again soon after. I identified the issue to be caused by Freesync. I turned it off on my monitor and now CS:GO is running as usual. (I'd also like to note that this issue was not present in any other game). Then a bit later I noticed that my entire computer would freeze when exiting full screen or tabbing out of a full screen game. The quickest method I found to unfreezing my PC was unplugging the monitor from my GPU, causing it to default to my secondary monitor for a bit, and then plugging it back in. I have not found a way to prevent this issue so I am asking here.

Okay, so the issue has randomly stopped appearing now? I waited a week with this issue before posting on here to prevent this :). I did not make any changes to my set up after posting here. I will now be marking this solved. I apologize for anyone who might come here in the future with the same problem and see this.

I would first swap out that monitor cable.  Is it a Display Port cable or an HDMI cable?  Either way, try another one or borrow one from a friend.  If that doesn't help, also consider trying another monitor.  

I'm assuming you have already updated your graphics driver.  Maybe look at disabling some other display options in the Adrenalin driver software.
