It seems your PC often shuts down during games. Let's troubleshoot together!
Hey there, forum members. My friend's PC often freezes and distorts the text during gameplay, especially when playing Sea of Thieves. He mentioned it also happens with Halo and Warzone. The issue seems to affect the Xbox app, but he noticed it also occurs in Warzone. His computer crashes and freezes, and the screen becomes a strange blurry effect—clear from the screenshots. Despite having a powerful machine (GTX 3080, i9-3090, 16GB RAM, MSI Z590 Pro Wi-Fi), the problem persists. I’m not sure what to do to fix it.
In these situations, I recommend everyone follow these steps: 1) Verify CPU/GPU and other parts such as HDD or RAM temperatures. 2) Inspect your RAM. 3) Test your HDD/SSD. 4) Ensure you’re using a legitimate copy of Windows (OEM distributions might cause issues). If none of this resolves the issue, try replacing components one at a time, starting with the simplest like RAM, so you can pinpoint the problem more clearly.
The RAM rate matters a lot, but it must match what the CPU and motherboard can handle. There’s been a discussion about some motherboards only supporting two of a certain type of RAM, even though there are four slots available. o_0
It's wise to pause and consider your words. I was talking about a different scenario from the one you mentioned, which involved someone else with a more advanced setup.
In fact, the documentation states i9 supports RAM speeds as high as 2933 MHz. However, this is the official specification, and manufacturers often reduce it. You can also enable XMP profiles. The motherboard, when matched to the official specs, can handle up to 5333 MHz. Please share more detailed specifications, such as exact RAM rates and other relevant details.
