Game crashes continuously regardless of your actions.
Game crashes continuously regardless of your actions.
I built my own PC around 4 to 6 years ago, and it functioned perfectly at first. Last year it began crashing unexpectedly while I played games. I suspected the old GPU I hadn’t upgraded during assembly might be the cause. This month I purchased a new MSI 1660 SUPER X Gaming graphics card with 6 GB RAM and installed it, hoping the issue would disappear. Unfortunately, it continued to crash. I attempted fixes but the problem persisted.
My current system specifications are: CPU – Ryzen 7 1800X, GPU – MSI 1660 SUPER X Gaming 6 GB, motherboard – ASRock X370 Killer SLI, power supply – 700W Silverstone 80+ Silver, RAM – 2x8GB at 2400 MHz (brand unknown, not covered), screenshot attached for more details. I translated some parts from the MSIinfo screenshot due to language differences.
After updating the BIOS and checking compatibility on ASRock’s site, I applied the latest release. The PC survived, but the crashes continued. It stopped functioning for about four days before resuming. Recently, when playing Rainbow 6 Siege, I couldn’t play for 15 minutes; it crashed in the menu and displayed a Windows error. R6Siege refused to access my graphics card.
I tried resetting to factory settings, wiping everything, reinstalling Windows, updating drivers, and downloading games. The PC still crashes, and performance is poor – GTA runs smoothly until I go too fast, then I experience micro-lags followed by crashes. Rainbow 6 Siege is also consistently lagging, even at full speed.
No issues beyond the games. Just the games crash; PC is stable now. I’ll test with one stick.
Maybe it's not a RAM problem, but it's still worth giving it a shot.
GPU runs near 40°C during tasks, drops to about 30°C when idle, BIOS shows 65°C in-game. After installing AMD Ryzen Master, it reports 47°C while playing.
Removing RAM doesn't impact drive connections; verify the drive interfaces.
