Vr chat causing the whole computer to freeze

when i try to launch pc vr chat from steam, its loading, loading and then “waiting for game” freezes, no more progress, and the strangest thing is: i cant turn off my pc. like in my pc, on my pc, buttons i press - nothing works, only way to turn off is unplug +i cant open any apps too. how to fix that?
p.s vrchat shuts down itself after a little time

If I recall correctly the first question for a situation like this, is something like “has VRChat worked on this hardware before?”

Second question is if you’ve changed anything recently.

For me GPU drivers have caused the most grief, windows update has a very long view on what the latest driver is. So I occasionally check dxdiag for the date on the display

  1. yes, vrchat worked perfectly on my pc before
  2. i wasnt playing for a long time, and while i wasnt playing i updated my drivers.
    also, when i tried to close easy anti cheat via task manager, the game just end up closing with an unknown error on stage of loading where my pc freezes.

PC is overheating or You do not have enough V ram. But if it worked before then im thinking over heating. At some point the PC will just start turning off at random. If you use liquid cooling with a pump, Check that the pump is still working. It might need to be replaced (Not with another pump but a dual fan radiator.) Any ways thats what I think it is as I had the same thing.

i have enought v ram and pc doesnt overheat, doesnt do any loud noises and things like that. im not using liquid cooling too
