I've faced some serious issues while playing games recently. These seem to affect most titles, but Witcher 3 stands out as the main culprit. Here are my specs: MSI B450M MORTAR MAX Ryzen 5 2600 (original), 2x16GB DDR4 HyperX Fury 3600MHz (3200MHz), Kingston A400 SATA SSD (boot), Seagate Barracuda 2TB HD (library), BeQuiet System Power 8 600W PSU. At first, I thought the game engine in Witcher 3 had crashed, but it wasn’t that simple—most other games were also having problems.

THE PROBLEMS: Initially, dialogue issues popped up, and loading times got excessively long when interacting with NPCs or picking up choices. This ruined the immersion. Later, textures failed to load, characters appeared as if they came straight from the first game, and some assets wouldn’t even start. Even animations stopped working properly—like with Roach, you’d see a static model instead of movement. The game would freeze for a single frame while background processes continued. Overall, it felt like the game was completely broken.

To explain what might have caused this, I considered a few things. First, about 10 hours before the issues began, I accidentally edited my Ryzen Master settings. After some experimentation with tutorials, I tried overriding the profile, but since my GPU was already limiting performance, it didn’t help much. I reset to the default profile, which kept my CPU at a high boost (3.8GHz) even when idle. Eventually, I reset everything back to default BIOS settings, but the problem persisted.

I also thought about RAM issues. It turned out my memory wasn’t running at the speed I set (3200MHz with tight timings). I adjusted the BIOS settings, but it didn’t fix the issue. I tried reseating the RAM and reinstalling Windows 10, yet performance stayed solid (75–60 FPS). I even ran MemTest86, which reported no errors. Sometimes, re-seating the RAM helped briefly, but only after each game launch.

I’m still struggling to resolve this across all my games, and a fresh Windows 10 install hasn’t solved it.
