Games crashing after minimizing the game

Hi, I've been having a recurring problem for 3 days on a new PC, when I minimize the game to return to the desktop or discord, the game freezes and crashes

One example is with Fortnite where it shows me the message "Application Hang Detected", the second it's with the game League of Legends when I switched from windowed mode to full screen it crash. I can play a game for hours without crashing but once I minimize the game it crashes instantly, another case is when I did Fortnite screen sharing there was no crash but when I minimized the game again to turn off screen sharing and this time the game froze and crashed again and when I try to turn off the game via task manager even the task manager freeze. These are the cases that are happening to me at the moment.

I also used a stress test which told me that there was no problem, good temp, xmp enabled, drivers up to date

I also tried fixes by disabling options like ULPS, TDR, MPO with a software called "MPO-GPU-FIX"
and at the time I no longer had crashes by minimizing my game but it came back a few dozen minutes later, I also disabled Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling and Games Record and also the Discord overlay, I also set the energy autonomy to high performance, in short I tried some solutions that I found on the internet but the problem still persists. And I noticed that in AMD Adrenalin software my GPU Usage goes from 100% to 0% every 2 seconds

Some games does not work well while Alt+Tab out of the game with dual monitors (other stuff on the second monitor), if the graphics settings is set to Full screen mode.

I have had similar issues/crashes with Assassins Creed Valhalla/Odyssey, Far Cry 4/5/6, Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, etc.

 

My solution was to change the graphics settings to Borderless window mode, and then the GPU is allowed to better handle other graphics tasks such as viewing Youtube videos and not explicit for just that particular game.

Hope this helps.

Best regards from Sweden

Hi, today the same crashes repeated themselves during the "alt tab" but on the other hand I could turn on Youtube, and on discord I could write msg while my Fortnite had crashed and the task manager too, small difference with League of Legends I could do alt tab without crashing it was really with Fortnite that I had crashes otherwise I will test what you said and I will keep you informed, thank you
