So, I play both R6 and osu frequently, and I would like to play Rainbow Six as my main game on my primary monitor, and osu on my second monitor when I am dead in casual / waiting for long NA West queuetimes. However, nearly 100% of the time, my computer hangs when I start up a song in osu, and I am forced to hard restart my PC. Before, it would give me a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, but now it just stays hanging for past a minute, and I hard restart it before anything shows up.

Any solutions?

Don't play osu while playing the other game? Easy solution ;)

Try playing on the same monitor and alt tabbing between. Sometimes if they're using two different direct x versions it doesn't like things at all.
