3 days ago there was a post on AskReddit asking "What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve seen on the internet?".

Remembering something quite disgusting and disturbing from years ago, and not seeing anyone else mentioning it, i gave my answer about a certain porn-fetish that caused some outrage a while back (obviously not writing it again because i might get banned again).

I even included an article of UK Telegraph about the outrage this fetish caused on the internet.

Instantly after posting, i received a 3 day ban for "threatening or encouraging violence". I appealed but received no answer before the time of the ban got removed.

I would like to know why or what caused this ban and if I now have a strike on my account or something.

Had a free day today and decided to finally play Red Dead Redemption. It’s been on my todo list forever and was even already installed on my PS5, I just never actually started it.

Played the first 2 missions on MacFarlane Ranch and started wondering if that ranch was also in Red Dead Redemption 2. Haven't played that game in a couple of years.

So I saved the game and booted up RDR2 real quick to check. And yeah, the ranch is there indeed… (minus the barn)

Then I noticed I still never finished the Rock Faces quest. Figured I might as well finish that while I was there…

Before I knew it, it was dinner time.

Fuck.

Description of Original Problem:

I am experiencing intermittent GPU/display driver hangs while gaming.

During gameplay (across multiple different games, not a single title), my display will suddenly:

• Go completely black OR
• One monitor goes black while the other freezes on a static frame
• Keyboard and mouse input stop responding
• Audio continues normally (game/Discord/Spotify keeps playing)
• System does NOT fully crash or reboot
• No BSOD is shown

The system can be fully recovered instantly using Win + Ctrl + Shift + B, which resets the GPU driver and restores the display without needing a reboot.

The issue appears to happen randomly but most commonly:

• During gaming sessions
• Often when alt-tabbing or switching focus between game and desktop
• Sometimes with a browser open in the background (Brave), but not always required
• Dual monitor setup is always active when the issue occurs.

Because audio continues and the system is recoverable via GPU reset, this strongly suggests a GPU driver hang rather than full system instability.

Troubleshooting:

• No CPU or GPU overclock applied
• Temperatures appear normal under load
• Issue occurs across multiple games
• Happens with different background application states (browser sometimes, but not always)
• System fully recovers with GPU driver reset shortcut (Win + Ctrl + Shift + B)
• No BSOD or full system crash observed

At this point I suspect either:

• AMD driver instability (RX 6000 series)
• Multi-monitor / compositor issue (possibly MPO related)
• Alt-tab / fullscreen transition bug

I have not yet performed a clean driver reinstall (DDU) or disabled MPO.
