I am uncertain about my next step.
I am uncertain about my next step.
I’m completely baffled regarding the issues affecting my computer's performance. Regardless of the game I attempt to run, it frequently freezes or terminates unexpectedly, yet each incident is unique and distinct. For example, during an Apex Legends match, the game will lock up, followed by a sudden termination with simply the message "this program isn't responding." Call of Duty Warzone consistently crashes, presenting me with a developer error accompanied by a numeric code. War Thunder allows gameplay, but then immediately returns me to my desktop before reloading the game, and upon reload it displays “driver hung” along with a reduction in texture quality.
Here are my system specifications:
CPU: Intel i7-8700k @3.70ghz
RAM: 16Gb 2133MHz DDR4 (T-Force)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080ti (EVGA)
Power Supply: 750W (Thermaltake 80 plus gold)
Motherboard: z370 Aorus Gaming 7
System Fan: NF-F12 120mm
CPU fan: Hyper 212 Evo
I typically acquire my games through Steam, but titles like Apex Legends and Call of Duty Warzone must be downloaded directly from their respective platforms. I’ve consulted numerous online tutorials to resolve these problems, and while some offer temporary relief, the issues invariably reappear within a day. I utilized MSI Afterburner to monitor my GPU and CPU temperatures while playing, observing that the graphics card reached approximately 90 degrees Celsius and the processor peaked at around 50 degrees. Adjusting fan curves using MSI successfully lowered these temperatures to 70 degrees, with the GPU consistently operating at 90% usage. Therefore, my temperatures and resource utilization appear to be within acceptable ranges.
Has this been constructed recently? Is it an update from a previous version, or a completely new creation? For how long has this process been underway?
Approximately a year ago, I developed this entirely on my own, though I’ve primarily used consoles for gaming over the past year. This issue began roughly a month ago.
There could be an issue with the video card, insufficient power supply unit, or a weak motherboard voltage regulator module. I would conduct tests on each individual component and then run them collectively to evaluate the power supply’s performance and identify when it malfunctions.
I’m unsure of how to accomplish this, and I'm also unclear about what I need.
