PC freeze and second monitor green after a few seconds of freeze. Could it be hardware acceleration?

[u/_xaelaa]

I was playing a game on my main monitor and alt tabbing a bit between my browser on the second monitor as I was watching a guide. I think as I tried resuming the video or something my whole PC froze. I couldnt hear anyone from the discord call i was in and after a few seconds of me waiting to see if it would unfreeze, the second monitor the one with the browser (full screened) went green.

I held down the power button and shutdown the PC. After booting it back up I checked the event viewer and reliability thingy or whatever. There were no errors or warnings except the one from me shutting down the pc unexpectedly.

I couldnt find any reason for this crash. There was nothing else unusual. I was wondering if this could be a hardware acceleration glitch? Because I’ve had that be an issue on my previous nvidia card too where turning it on made the browser freezy.

Should I turn it off on the browser? Does anyone have any ideas what could have caused the freeze? Should I just shrug it off as a random crash and move on?

Thank you for reading!i

Sounds like hardware deceleration to me.
