Game issues on computer crashes frequently.
Game issues on computer crashes frequently.
I recognize similar problems in other discussions, yet my experience feels distinct. After reviewing several cases, I suspect my symptoms aren't linked to the CPU overheating. The issue appears more frequent when loading new game areas, though it can happen occasionally. Games like Cult of the Lamb and Helldivers 2 work without trouble, but playing Dying Light becomes nearly impossible—lasting just a few minutes. I’ve cleaned the entire system, reapplied thermal paste, and even used a CPU thermometer. It showed a crash temperature of 50°C, suggesting the issue isn’t with my CPU. My PSU seems fine, though calculations from Newegg indicated a 650W requirement versus my 750W unit. I’ve tried various fixes: reinstalling Windows, resetting RAM, using a different power outlet, removing extra peripherals, updating drivers, and checking for errors in Event Viewer (error ID 1796). The documentation links to troubleshooting steps, but I’m unsure how to proceed with that specific message. My setup includes an i9-9900K processor, a Thermaltake cooler, MSI MPG Z390 power supply, and several high-end components.
Have you performed a memtest? You said you cleared the RAM but haven’t run any tests. Have you assessed the condition of your storage devices? Both SSDs and that Seagate drive—review their SMART data. Does the same apply during PC benchmarking? A refurbished GPU tends to raise concerns. Do you have another GPU available for testing?
There are tools available to view SMART data. CrystalDiskInfo is a well-known application for this purpose. For assistance interpreting the SMART metrics, you can capture screenshots and share them here.
