Hello! Are you sure your GPU has the correct drivers installed or have you ever updated one before? GeForce Experience is the software for Nvidia.

Hello! Yes, I use GeForce Experience and keep my drivers updated to the newest versions. Express installs work well, but I’m curious—do you need regular updates for your CPU or RAM as well?

New drivers are available, but updates are usually postponed until problems arise. For a fresh installation, it's best to install the most recent versions of the driver for your motherboard, graphics card, and processor.

While assembling the PC, I flashed the BIOS. I'm not sure if this is the same as updating the MB, though I've thought it might be. I don't recall updating the CPU either.

Identify the games that fail by opening Event Viewer immediately after an incident. Look through the logs in the Windows Logs section under Applications to find the latest entry. A screenshot of the General tab can help clarify if needed. The issue should appear as an Error or Warning.

You can test for XMP problems using an older version of the board. Disabling XMP may resolve the issue.

I’d think about saving data, changing formats, and reinstalling Windows. Check your chipset drivers, keep your GPU drivers current, audio drivers up to date, and any plugged-in devices that need drivers. Probably because you downloaded something that fits your specs. There’s nothing from the hardware side that would suggest otherwise. For certain games, E-Cores on Intel 12th and 13th gen might not work well—turning them off and running P-Cores could help, though I still believe it’s a software issue. Also, some games just have bugs.
