Not really but had to do a restart. ;)

I don't understand why it happened but things just went haywire. I mean it had ONLY been on for 3-4 days with a total of 8 games loaded ( a couple intense such as Baldur's Gate 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn) that I was alt-tabbing between and streaming baseball games and other stuff. ;)

Of course I said all the above tongue in cheek as the reason is pretty obvious. It was just the first time that I managed to run the thing out of resources. :rofl2:

I DID learn something though. Normally, when I hover over a game icon on the taskbar, it will throw up a mini-view of the game, same with other active apps on the taskbar. Before the system went haywire it had stopped showing these mini-views when hovering over an icon. So now I know that if it stops showing the mini-view it is time for a restart as resources are running low.

Sounds like it was a bit scary there for a bit. Glad to hear it is back up and running.

Not really as I knew the cause when it happened. Let's just take the game Balder's Gate 3. It actually requires to be installed on an SSD for quick enough access.
