What is the reason and/or fix for UE5 (5.03 & 5.1) freezing my whole pc?

This has seemed to help for me, I’ve had the usual GPU crash a few times but no freezes.

Desktop shortcut > Properties >
Shortcut Tab > Run: Minimized
Compatibility Tab > Turn On - Disable fullscreen optimizations & Run this program as an administrator

I was skeptical but I’ve definitly seen improvements.
