PC games experiencing frequent crashes
Over the past year and a half, most of the games I have played have been unstable. They consistently freeze or stop working during gameplay. In each case, the system freezes briefly before returning to desktop, often accompanied by an error message that explains the crash. However, it usually doesn’t stop completely. I managed to run Halo Infinite smoothly for a while without issues, but recently adjusting three settings caused the crashes to resume. After reverting those changes, the problems gradually improved, and I haven’t had any crashes recently. Still, other titles remain unreliable, sometimes crashing every 30 minutes to an hour. Generally, the games function properly except for the interruptions. I’m considering upgrading my GPU, but I’m content with the performance of my 1080ti unit, despite the interruptions.
I’ve invested a lot of time online searching for solutions and would appreciate guidance on diagnostic tests that could help identify the issues.
Here is my parts list:

I ran a Windows memory diagnostic test and found no errors.
Heaven benchmark 4.0 results: directx11 1920x1080
* FPS: 278.6
* Score: 7019
* quality: high
* tessellation: disabled
Notes:
* Most of the time, the game runs alongside Discord on another monitor.
* Games that have crashed include Halo Infinite, Delta Force, Marvel Rivals, Baldur's Gate 3, Monster Hunter World, and Civ 6.
* I have one intake fan at the front of the PC and another in the back behind the CPU cooler.
* The Delta Force crash reported a "faulty application path."
* When playing Marvel Rivals, my GPU temperature usually reaches around 84-85°C.
Thank you in advance!
Hi There,
I believe you should begin with the fundamentals. Specifically:
- thoroughly clean the PC interior from dust and debris
- inspect every cable within the chassis for loose connections or damaged wires
- reposition all components and use alcohol designed for general PC cleaning if available
- verify graphic drivers and test safe mode functionality
- ensure all drivers are up to date, including the BIOS
- examine GPU card settings, as some configurations might negatively impact performance
- confirm your PSU has sufficient power to support the GPU
Additionally, consider whether your GPU might be failing. Unfortunately, there’s nothing permanent that lasts forever, so you can test by swapping it out with another GPU and observing the results.
Of course, as mentioned before, perform all possible tests.
I strongly suggest reinstalling windows. While your computer did start up using the previous OS, it should be reinstalled.
When transferring an old OS to a new machine, you usually encounter one of three outcomes: it fails to boot, it starts but has unresolved problems, or it works smoothly. I think you’re more likely in the second category—your system boots but there are hidden issues that won’t be fixed.
I’ll try that. What about the CPU and GPU temperatures? Could they be a problem? I completed Prime95 and FurMark for around ten minutes, and someone told me my temperatures are quite high. I have the CSV results, but it doesn’t look like I can attach a file here. They said my case isn’t going my way and suggested reapplying thermal paste to the GPU, though they think the main issue might be related to Windows or another software problem. I also only have one fan in front and one behind the case, which might not help.
I was also considering cleaning the dust, but I’m worried about damaging anything. There isn’t a lot of dust built up, but I can see some on the surfaces.
