Ngenuity freezes my pc

All my peripherals are HyperX:
-Keyboard Origins Alloy Blue Switches
-Mouse PulseFire FPS Pro
-Quadcast
-Cloud 2 Alpha
-Cloud 2 Wireless

The mouse is the most recent addition to my setup and thats when the problems started. When i leave my PC idle for more than 24hours, when i come back, i can't do ♥♥♥♥ except push the Reset button. I tried changing to a different USB mouse/keyboard, no avail. Now i don't actually use the Software, so i am thinking i could uninstall it but would that help? I see there is an option to reset all the peripherals to the stock firmware. Should i test it first and see if will return any result? When i come back to my PC, if the RGB on the mouse is gone, pc is frozen. That's the only hit i can give you.

Probably not. See most software like that uses system level drivers or lower and that means that the writers of the software have to have it play nice with other software that exists there, including anticheats.

Now, think about this...how many people use that software and hardware that utilises it, and how profitable is it?

In most cases the software isn't profitable and is added as an afterthought to push sales up that are already on a margin. That means that development isn't a priority, and when development isn't a priority, it means that testing isn't either.

And if you work in the system space and code is buggy, then you can expect freezing/crashing to happen often from literally any interaction between said software and the system or another component.

You can report it to the software writer, but I doubt they will care. Here;s an example of a nother piece of bad low level software: armoury crate. Really bad and has been for years. Can't go a day on MSDN without seeing someone crashing and freezing up because of it, and yet it's never been fixed. And that was by a motherboard manufacturer that sells millions of motherboards a year.

If they won't fix it, don't think anyone else will fix similar software...

yeah, remember having armoury crate on an older pc, looked like straight up bloatware... sucks that lighting on a mass manufactured keyboard can't just be enabled by default through its hardware. definitely just gonna build my own keyboard again after this one dies.

at idle a gpu will never overheat

if the op is mining or has mining malware maybe, but even then, the gpu will throttle when overheating, not locking up the system

@op
is anything in windows logs

Would you be able to decipher logs seeing if anythings wrong? cause I'd be curious to see if anything weird's goin on.
