Desktop (Nvidia) freezing randomly while watching stuff
Several times in the last few hours, I've been watching streaming stuff and the video freezes while the audio continues, and then a few seconds later the audio also cuts out. I cannot close anything, Ctrl+Alt+Del, or any other trick to unfreeze it. I have to manually restart my PC.
Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do?

This has now also happened while I was watching YouTube videos.
I have had my system freezing before but not during Youtube. What was interesting was when the system froze I could still ssh into my device from my phone and terminate the program that froze. Maybe try and enable ssh with
sudo systemctl enable --now sshd. Then ssh to the device when it freezes. I use Termius on my phone for the ssh ability.
Note that it has happened twice in the last 6 months for me
Secondly, do you still experience the freeze if you use a different browser?
