Borderlands 3 crashing
Borderlands 3 crashing
Hi everyone,
I was quite taken aback when my game stopped after just a few minutes of running. I don’t understand what’s causing the issue. It works perfectly in Horizon Zero Dawn so far, but it crashes when I start BL3 after about 3 to 5 minutes.
My PC specifications are:
Ryzen 5900x
Corsair 32GB 3600 RAM
MSI X570S Tomahawk AM4 Max Wi-Fi
GeForce RTX 3080Ti
Playing at 3440x1440

You will need to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age. Can you please state the BIOS version on your motherboard at the time of writing? As a side note, what OS are you working with? Where did you source the installers for the titles?
See if uninstalling your GPU drivers using DDU then manually reinstalling your latest GPU driver in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Adminstrator helps you out.
My build details are as follows:

BIOS Version: AMI BIOS 7D54v13 (01 June 2022)
Also... I just attempted lowering the RAM to 2133Mhz from 3600MHZ and it didn't crash... yet. Hmmm... why buy 3600Mhz RAM when the game performs better at 2133Mhz? LOL
I would attempt to reset the CMOS and then check whether entering timings, voltage, and frequency manually in BIOS—using the labeled end of the RAM module—results in a consistent overclocked setup. Which motherboard slots are you using?
I just changed the RAM speed back to 3600Mhz, set the game to Windowless Border Fullscreen and upgraded from DX11 to DX12. Everything seems okay now. On the Ryzen, it might have helped switching from DX11 (Single Core) to DX12, reducing stress on one core.
