Good hints, I know what I am up to over the weekend now, thanks.
I am also starting to wonder if my RAM hasn't some problem as well.
Is there any SW to log resource utilization ?

Total guesses
1. Turn off spell/grammar check
2. You have some malware reporting to a CnC server that is offline.
Compose emails in notepad and paste them into outlook.

1 is a very good hint, but it did not help. Plus my emails were getting unreadable
2 also good, I run some scans with different tools, and got rid of a few things(thanks!), but nothing that helped for that particular thing

Microsoft recommends you reinstall Windows

Actually ... you are not wrong, it insists on installing win11. I could avoid it so far.

My ice cream maker ... 30 minutes and it's ready.

30 minutes!
Chris’s monitor freezes instantly. If we could combine the two we could get instant ice cream and make a fortune!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I don't have access to Liquid Nitrogen, or it would be instant!

Even liquid nitrogen icecream takes a bit of time to make. Making dippendot's is faster than normal icecream which is faster than softserve; but you need to mix the ingredients while adding the LN2 so it still takes some time (the last step in making LN2DDs is flashfreezing with a lot of it).

Years ago (running Windows NT 4.x) I had a similar issue, except it took a bit to notice it.
When I visited a specific web site the computer would freeze. it was really weird.
Only later when I moved to another machine and accessed a shared folder did I notice that the machine wasn't frozen but just the video was. It was crazy.
Yep, installed new drivers & tried all that.
The solution: Bought a new graphics card and installed it and never had a problem again.
Could just be your graphics card is fried. Good luck, I hope you're able to find an answer.

That is my main suspicion ... I am using dual monitor with Svideo and HDMI outputs, so maybe the card also does not like that a lot.
My Computer is from 2015, maybe a bit of update would not be bad. But new ones with almost lower specs are about twice as expensive as 7 years ago (you read that well), and finding hw parts compatible with such an old motherboard is also not easy.

It does sound like the graphics card could be overheating. Does it have fans you could clean? Could you try directing extra cooling towards the graphics card?
Good luck

Do your updates. Some things get updated without your noticing. Eventually the lack of other updates such as windows and video drivers, etc. cause breakage.

I looked into it : the new drivers are not compatible with the rest of my HW, so not much to expect on this side unfortunately.

I made an account here, and I saw that I have to have a logon email (I dont have email for privacy reasons, I just use tempmail services, how am I supposed to use this?), among many other issues, and it made me realize that CodeProject could avoid issues like this if it were free (as in freedom), and that CodeProject not being completely free (as in freedom) is odd considering that the first thing it says in the about page is "CodeProject was formed to allow developers to freely share their knowledge, code and ideas. We believe that by opening your code to others, by teaching those who are learning, and by sharing our daily experiences we all become better programmers.". So then why isn't CodeProject free? I know that there are some reprositories in its repository, but the general website isn't free (as in freedom), but that is still a big problem.
I don't want to come off as just a annoying neckbeard linux fan (but you aren't a nerdy neckbeard if you just annoy people a lot, then you are an open source activist lol), but I just think that this is a cool service, and want to help improve it.

It is free.
Well, at least by everyone else's definition of the word.

Imagine, if you will, a user who insists on posting Nazi content. He is very quickly removed from the site so he creates another account and reposts the same content. He's banned, creates a new account, and so on, and so on, and so on. This is because he is completely anonymous. If you give us your email address on sign up, when you're banned, you're banned. Okay, you may create new email addresses, but this is inconveniencing you and you will get tired of the hurdles you have to jump through.
When the site says it's free, it is free - it doesn't cost you a penny. You get access to a wealth of content from articles, through to the ability to freely seek help in QA and the forums. That's got to be worth a single dedicated email address.

The email address you supply is used for specific purposes: logging you in so that any reputation you build up is applied to the correct user, contacting you to give you news or replies from others.
It is never given out to anyone (member or not) without your permission, sold to any outside company, or used for marketing of products or services that will cost you anything.
Emails and the associated passwords are stored in a safe and secure manner which conforms to GDPR and other relevant data protection legislation.
The articles are all free (though I believe you have to log in to download code), and reading the messages is also free regardless of your login status.
But you can't post a message or question, or answer, or article without logging in first. A good chunk of this is related to the amount of spam and abusive messages we get: since you have to be logged in to post it, the site can choose to revoke your membership and wield the Ban Hammer.
The information is free: contributions are also free, but do require a login - which uses your email and a password just as it does on many other sites.
I'm not sure what you problem with this is? Did you get a request for a credit card or similar when you signed up? If so, you really need to check your system, and if clean report it here: Bugs and Suggestions[^] so the admins can see there is a problem.

Sometimes playing dumb is the best way to call out "these people". Their response typically paints a rather revealing picture of what it is they're after.
