Black Screen Freeze but can still hear audio

[Dope Francis]

Anyone encountering black screen freeze but I can still hear the audio? Only way to fix is to restart?

Im running on GTX 1650 and Ryzen 5 3600

I get the same thing: with the difference that the audio also eventually stops altogether: but it's on Arch Linux. Knowing what it is doesn't fix the issue. The Windows fix is as if it's meant to be relayed as such in opposition to the Linux issue.

We're you able to determine what's causing this issue? My audio also stops maybe around 1-2 minutes of black screen and the only way I can unfreeze my PC is to force restart it.

It's not the audio that's an issue: it's the page file minimum and maximum size needing to be of an equal maximum size proportionate to vram and virtual memory combined.
With Arch Linux distros, the swap file is a zram solution (main memory): but I've tried a lot of workarounds and I haven't been able to resolve it other than resorting to a 'swap partition' which I want to avoid (I don't have nvme.2; it's sata3).
