GZDoom freezes my computer randomly as described in some of the intel posts…except I’m not using Intel anything. I’m running a ryzen 5900x (on x570) with an rtx 3080. When it happens, I have to hold the power button to turn it off because the entire computer goes non responsive. I’m a developer and system builder so you can assume most super common things aren’t the problem
GZDoom 4.6.1
Latest Nvidia Drivers as of 8-10
Vulkan and OpenGL both do it

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

If vsync is off and FPS cap is disabled then it's either overheat or insufficient power.
How about looking for an exact version in NVIDIA Control Panel?

To be honest, these two sentences sound like a contradiction to me. Personally, I have no idea what were the latest drivers to that date.CandiceJoy wrote:Latest Nvidia Drivers as of 8-10

Looks like a hardware problem. Does it happen in other games?

Re: GZDoom Freezes (NOT INTEL)
Even if it does not, GZDoom at high uncapped frame rates can burn a lot more GPU power than any modern games, because the GPU will be constantly under load due to having no delays.
One easy way to check if it is hardware would be to enable vid_vsync in the console and see if that reduces the crashes.

Vsync is on and framerate is capped. Nvida driver 471.68. This is the only program or game in which this happens.
