Black screen sometimes on 1 monitor during WoW, pc freezes sound loops last 5sec played

So I only have problems with wow i was running a heroic dungeon, and i pressed some key combo and my whole pc froze. 1 monitor went black, 2nd one kept outputting and i couldnt get ctrl alt del to work etc just had to reboot. I never had this with other games so it must be wow related.

i had it more often in wow but it happens only rarely can go 1-2d without problems and then it can do it again. is this a bug? for now i have tried running in dx11 see if that prevent it from happening.

pc specs:
15 11400f
rx 6600
16gb rAM
1tb ssd

so far in dx11 mode no crashes/freezes.

Insert usb stick next time see if it plays hardware detect sound if had these issues to also tryit dx11 does not help but contineu testing on dx11 my experience may be different then yours.
Sounds like MPO might be cause but disabling MPO may fix blackscreen but not the freezes.
edit: driver time out can take 2 to 4 minutes it you think its frozen try and wait

so for me dx11 mode gave me no crashes so far

Give 22.5.1 a try if you still end up with problems, your not the first to complain about these driver issues, its been quite annoying for me as well if been playing a lot less games lately but when i do i play from Linux now cos windows is unstable mess especially in games.

Hey i still got no crashes running in dx11 until no so im good.
