Recent difficulties appear to stem from the casino update. Following two weeks of troubleshooting, evidence suggests the issue originates with the game.
It is interesting that I am experiencing the exact same problem with random crashes every 10-20 minutes. The Windows Event Viewer shows identical exception code and fault offset (0x0396bc55). I am running with a Ryzen 3700X instead of an Intel processor, but have the same GPU - GTX 970.
I also have the exact same problem.
My specifications:
Operating System: Windows 10 x64
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K CPU 3.40GHz (4 Cores)
Memory (RAM): Corsair 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz Vengeance
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 770
HDD: 120 GB SSD for Windows & 250 GB SSD for games
Troubleshooting steps taken:
1. Cleared cache
2. Verified GTA access through Windows Firewall
3. Ensured Router has relevant ports open
4. Reinstalled game
5. Cleared cache
6. Unplugged all USB ports except mouse and keyboard
7. Unplugged second monitor
8. Stopped everything in ms-config apart from Windows services
9. Disabled all startup services in Task Manager
10. Followed Basic-Troubleshooting-for-PC instructions (https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/115014867468)
11. Tested PC with memtest86 v8.2, Occt v5.2.1 (tested CPU, RAM, video card and power supply) – no program, benchmark or game is unstable in any way; only GTA and only after the casino update
12. Deleted PlayGTAV.exe and GTA5.exe and let the game redownload them
13. Ran GTAVLauncher.exe -verify
14. Removed Nvidia drivers and reinstalled with clean install
15. Created a new user in Windows and ran the game from there
16. Lowered GPU RAM usage (from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 and most settings from high to medium)
The issue is a game problem since the casino update. I have the same graphics card and am experiencing the same problem. Nothing is overheating and it does not affect other games. I have tried everything in this thread and additional solutions. Hopefully, Rockstar patches this problem.
I also experience the exact same problem. I have been closely monitoring my GPU temperature for the last three weeks and the crashes occur at seemingly random times (sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 40 minutes, sometimes I play two hours and it does not crash) and my insight is that the crashes are clearly unrelated to GPU heat. I have also run FurMark stress tests, checking whether the GPU crashes at some point under maximum power…but nothing. Another thing to mention is that I have been playing the game without issues for the better part of three years on the exact same system without any issues. Which also cancels out that it could be things like limited Win 10 support or unplugging the second screen etc, since I had all that from the beginning. I have an open ticket with R*, who asked me to supply dxdiag.txt, msinfo and launcher log to them. I haven't heard back yet. I hope the crash ref codes might shed some light on where the problem originates. But as many of you say, it looks like it might just be the game itself…after the casino update. None of my friends have comparable crashes. I also asked a few times in large public lobbies…but nobody said ‘yes, I experience that too’. So for some reason it seems to effect only a small selection of players? A few days ago I re-installed the full game and went back to a driver from March 2019 (I run on a GTX 980 ti). And it did seemingly work better for one day after that. But now I’m back to square one. It is very frustrating, to say the least.
