POE2 keeps freezing my computer

This seems to happen more and more. If I close out my other programs and just run POE, I have no issues. When I open up multiple website (Chromie a nice memory killer) and then loading into the game I get the freezing issues. Only once has it restored after waiting 2 or more mins. HARD reboot has been the only fix for me. No plans to roll back. So just gonna have to wait this one out.
Not had single freeze till poe 2 so...
Whole PC freeze = all CPU cores are locked !

Solution: Prevent the use of all cores !

There is already a lot of threads explaining how to do that!
or you can just wait for a patch!
Game is unplayable, freezes on start now... Have been playing all weekend with no issues...
Game freezes on my pc as well:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 32,0 GB RAM, RTX 3080, Windows 11 Pro 24H2

Like the previous comments stated, freezing occurs on screen transitions or loading screens.

Though I am not happy with it, what helps for me is playing in windowed mode.
Solutions presented here that don't required a 3rd Party Tool did not fix the issue.

Within 15 minutes of opening the game after 24 hours not playing, the game killed the PC.
I7-7700K, GTX1080, 32GB RAM.

My computer also freezes. I got locked out of my computer for about 8th times right now and at last time, the game hasn't even launched. My whole pc got frozen at first GGG gear loading scene. Only solution is to restart the computer and I think it has to be the game because I have no problems running Diablo 4 without single issue with pretty high settings. I hope a patch comes sooner because it sucks to wait without getting spoiled from twitch.

Yeah, this is the only game/program that has ever done this for me as well.
I have the same issue in both POE1 and POE2.

It seems it might be the same issue as with the Ubisoft games and the 24H2 update. It was so bad that Microsoft prevented their own update when you had these games installed:

Apparently Ubisoft managed to fix it for a few games:

Most loading screens end up freezing my pc entirely to the point i cant pull up windows tab or task manager and have to hard restart my computer. dont know how much more i can take until i quit playing entirely.
