Hello everyone who may be having an issue with crashing when you alt tab (particularly when loading different game). Usually you get a black screen, while audio continues. The system will crash after a bit if you dont reset.

The solution that helped me was disabling MPO, and discord overlay. Something about overlays is jamming up the driver,

Open Registry Editor: Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.
Navigate to DWM Key: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM.
Create DWORD: Right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Name Value: Name it OverlayTestMode.
Set Value: Double-click OverlayTestMode and change the value data to 5.
Restart PC: Reboot your computer to apply changes.
