PC freezes and screen goes black for a few seconds when switching tabs in web browser (Windows 11)

Open | Hardware

This doesn't happen often but it's still annoying that it happens at all, I've tested both FireFox and Brave so far and this happens in both browsers. The freeze usually happens when I click on a YouTube video tab. I tried disabling hardware acceleration but this did not get rid of this problem.

All my drivers are up to date and everything works as it should, it's just this one thing that sometimes happens and I'm not sure why.
