Recently, my games began experiencing unexpected crashes that returned me to the desktop without generating any error logs. I had previously been using an older graphics driver and subsequently updated to the most current version, but the issue continued. It appears more prone to crashing during Rainbow Six (typically occurring every 20 minutes), while older titles like Path of Exile or Stardew Valley rarely encounter this problem. I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps:

- Reinstalled drivers
- Tried reverting to a previous driver version (this was unsuccessful due to using GeForce Experience, which has since been uninstalled)
- Updated Windows 10

My system specifications are as follows:

Ryzen 2700x (approximately one month old)
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti FTW (several years old)
ASRock B450 Pro 4 motherboard (similar age to the CPU)
Thermaltake 600W fully modular power supply (comparable in age to the graphics card)
3200MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM (matching the CPU's age; I performed an 8-hour memory test with no errors detected).

Could you tell me exactly what audio driver you’re referring to? I’m experiencing a similar problem…

I’m experiencing a similar problem too. Could you clarify which driver you were using or detail the specific actions you took?
