Hi!

So this is going to be a bit of a long one, all help would be amazing as it is seriously affecting my work.

Firstly, I have some decent specs, that should run 90% of games on High/Ultra.

CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x
GPU: RTX 3060 32GB
RAM: 32GB, 3200Mhz x4 Sticks.
MOBO: TUF Gaming x570-PLus
PSU: CORSAIR ALIMENTATIONS CORSAIR 601-850

I have a issue that has become worse and worse, I stream for a living!

Whenever I tab in to a game, my OBS completely locks up, my preview if perfectly fine and running. But where you see my audio levels, that completely freezes. My chat, will completely freeze, the messages will only load once I ALT + Tab out of the game. (Sorry for the bad explanation, but that is as best as I can explain it) It also happens with Discord, where it will completely lock up, becoming normal once I alt tab from my games.

I have tried, factory resetting, underclocking, overclocking, Full optimization. Cleaning the computer, virus scans. Reseating my GPU, resetting my motherboard.
Everything I have tried, to no evail.

If there is any screenshots or anything I can provide, please let me know. At this point, I am willing to try anything.

Thank you!!!

What's your specific ram, your info is too generic.

A 3060 is an entry level card that will not run ultra/high, you need a RX6800 or 3080 series at the least to do that.

It will, unless it's some really taxing AAA title from 2022+. The OP should never have experienced such issues because of their GPU performance, it's something utterly wrong happened.

@Shayeno

1. Have you reinstalled your OS?
2. Have you tried one RAM stick configurations?
3. Have you run specific stress tests?
4. Have you got components proven to work that you can slot into this PC to see if anything changes?
5. Have you completely uninstalled your OBS with all your settings so you could have a fresh build?
