PMS keeps crashing and transcodes (hw) keeps buffering - i5-12600k

Server Version#:1.25.9.5721
Windows 11 pro, 16GB ram, 1TB nvme ssd

Player Version#: chrome browser player

Hello, I have been having a lot of trouble with my Plex Media server lately. I built a new server for my PMS but ever since then it has been crashing, won’t transcode using the iGPU or constant buffers while transcoding with the iGPU.

I believe I solved the issue with the transcoder not using the Intel GPU by installing the latest UHD drivers from Intel’s website.

Even with transcoding (hw) is shown, it still buffers constantly when transcoding 4k down to 1080p.

I have attached the logs, hopefully the most recent logs show the hardware transcoding and the buffering. I also tried to turn off and on the hw transcoding setting.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, I didn’t expect this much problems when upgrading my Plex Media server.
