Omen Gaming Hub Crashing PC: 6 Ways to Fix it

The OMEN Gaming Hub is a powerful tool but it can also be the cause of your PC crashing frequently. When a program causes your PC to crash, it can manifest in the form of BSoDs, or you’ll find your Omen gaming hub freezing, loading forever or not opening.

This can happen due to insufficient system resources, and high CPU usage since it is a resource-hungry app which in turn causes overheating and ultimately your Omen gaming hub crashing your PC. Other triggers could be software compatibility issues or outdated drivers.

What can I do if the Omen gaming hub is crashing my PC?

1. Check for app updates

2. Next, go to the Downloads section in the left pane.

4. Click the Update button next to it and wait for it to finish.
   
5. Optional: If the update button isn’t available, leave the window open for a couple of minutes, and check again.

It’s also possible that there’s no update in the Microsoft Store so ensure to also check with the web version and see if it works. While still on updates, check for Windows updates too.

2. Restart the OMEN Gaming Hub service

1. Press Win + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
2. Locate OMEN Gaming Hub Service in the list and select Properties.

5. Once the scan is complete, you can check for errors under Event Viewer. 

The Omen gaming hub could be crashing or freezing your PC if it is using more RAM than it should or if there’s not enough for it to run efficiently. Checking the memory status will allow you to identify if there are faulty RAM sticks and replace them if necessary.
