Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported freeze on Windows 10 with a GTX 1080 Ti, following the steps of leaving Path of Building open until Windows enters power-save mode. Because the failure is inconsistent and freezes the whole PC, investigate the power-save interaction and use the issue details to establish a reproducible case. Done means the cause is identified and the freeze is prevented or reliably verified as fixed.
