About two or three times a month the PC randomly freezes completely if a video is running in the actual Firefox browser (regardless of the site, regardless of whether it is in the active tab or in the background). First the image freezes, after about 10 seconds the sound freezes. Only a hard reset helps. The problem is observed both in actual Windows 11 and in Manjaro Linux. In games, rendering, stress tests and other PC works stably, does not freeze. How to solve this problem?

I noticed that if I disable FreeSync in the monitor settings, the problem disappears and everything works as it should. Nvidia RTX 3080 (G-Sync Compatible Mode) LG Ultragear monitor (FreeSync Basic / Extended)
