Game issues persist on the latest PC without any reported problems.
Game issues persist on the latest PC without any reported problems.
Hi all, I've recently upgraded my PC completely with new parts. The only part that i transferred to my old build to my new one, is my NVIDIA FE 3080TI. I have never had this issue previously.
I am currently having frequent crashes when i launch games. For example, when i play PUBG, i am able to load in to the menu just fine with no issues at all. But majority of times, when i start loading into an actual player game/match, PUBG crashes outright and instantly. My PC doesn't freeze or anything like that, just the game. This doesnt happen everytime but majority of times. I am then able to reconnect into that same match with nil further issues (
usually
).
This also occurs when i play Cyberpunk 2077. With this, it is extremely inconsistent. Sometimes the game will crash instantly when attempting to start. Other times it will then crash as i load a save. Then some other times it lets me play the game, but when i go to the ingame "benchmark", it crashes again. During the bench mark, sometimes it crashes instantly, the other half it crashes at the end of the benchmark.
I am able to play Destiny 2 and Starfield with no crashes. I have tried some games via microsoft/xbox store and they crash instantly however.
Things i have done to try and fix:
- Reinstalled NVIDIA Drivers
- Intel CPU drivers + assistant
- Taking out ram sticks to test + also changing frequency/XMP
- Clean installing Windows
- Memtest (no errors)
- Windows file test (no errors)
- Changing GPU slots in the PSU
- PCIE Gen 3 to Gen 4 (no difference)
- Re installing games
- Checking CPU, RAM and GPU temp, clocks, power and load - (No spikes when crashing or any obvious cause)
- Limiting GPU speed, power and mem

Thanks guys, i appreciate any helpful comments or suggestions.
I'm in the same situation as you... even worse. The games I play are consistently crashing. It's strange because I've always had the same assignments, but now they keep failing more and more over time. Is this just my 3070 Super breaking down after two years?
I found out what it was for me—Intel Boost Technology. After turning it off, I haven’t experienced any crashes. My main issue now is that my CPU is running at 3200mhz instead of the advertised 5700. I’m unsure why this causes problems because I can perform all other tasks smoothly at full turbo speed, except when playing games. I’ve contacted Intel, who think it’s a defective processor. I might have to accept it and return it.
it's not a GPU problem. it's a 13th gen Intel CPU issue. you need to lower its clock speed by several hundred MHz. Try setting it to 5.2 GHz max and the games should work again without problems.
