Game and OBS issues.

I constructed this PC about three months ago.
I experienced several crashes in two different games (one can run on a low-end machine), and OBS also crashed during play (without streaming). I had some crashes before too, especially in the past two months. While gaming, OBS would open but I wouldn’t stream. I’m unsure what might be causing these issues.

I used speccy and core temp programs to monitor CPU and GPU temperatures while gaming—no temperature problems were detected.
I also ran Prime95 (CPU stress test), Furmark 2 (GPU stress test), and Memtest64 for two hours. All three tests completed without errors or bad results.

PC Specifications:
- CPU: i5 12600KF
- GPU: RTX 4070 Super
- RAM: 32GB (4x8)
- Operating System: Windows 11
- BIOS: RAM speed set to 2800MHz, I suspect it’s too slow for the actual speed. I adjusted it to auto.

I haven’t tested the games yet to confirm if changing the RAM speed helped.
My MOBO is a Prime B660-PLUS D4. Is this compatible with the RAM I have?

End of thoughts here… I’m looking for advice.
Best regards, E.

Version 576.52 seems unlikely to be the problem, as certain games experienced crashes with the earlier driver too.

I am checking the two games atm with the RAM speed set to "auto" in BIOS. Can you guys see what speed your RAM actually has? It's hard to tell from the CPU Z program. I've had this RAM for a long time, so I really don't know its exact speed.

After playing for roughly four hours without any issues, I believe adjusting the RAM speed to "auto" in BIOS resolved the problem. I appreciate everyone who assisted me.
