Ever since I changed my GPU from a GTX 1650 to a Radeon 6600XT I’ve been experiencing random freezes, I don’t know if the problem is the GPU because it seems to work well on windows, and it happens very randomly for example I can be playing something like CP2077 or using Unreal Engine and everything is fine but I could be doing random stuff like writing a document on LibreOffice or watching a youtube video and it starts to stutter and freezing. This freezes only last for a few seconds, I did uninstall the nvidia drivers but it didn’t help, and all the disks seem to be healthy according to crystaldisk on windows. Also I’m a noob in arch (I’ve been using previously POP OS and I wasn’t an expert in that either)
