Lots of Critical Hit Damage (CTD) showing up across all the games out there.
Hi Guys! First of all, I hope this is the correct forum and categorized under the correct post thread. (IF not, please let me know ill try and change it afterwards) Second but more importantly my pc in games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, CSGO2, Train Sim World 5, GTA V has been experiencing many CTDs. Which do not make those games enjoyable to play at all. The CTD looks like: one short stutter, with sound, thereafter no sound, followed by an exit of the game with no failure message. Ive been having these for i believe 3-4 months now, i havent changed any specs at the time of first occurance. (Maybe its got to do anything with a windows update which I might have done at that time?) What i tried: - reinstalled games - Cleaned PC, - put on new temperature paste on the CPU - put in graphics card into a different slot - added an additional housing fan for better circulation - fully reset my pc, installed everything clean and new (as well as all hard drives) - Software wise: tried everything posted in various forums (-vulkan in CSGO, NVIDIA Control panel settings, power/performance settings...) - reinstalled NVIDIA graphics driver over and over - many Windows updates - started monitoring with Core Temp (temperatures spike up to 100°C, averageing in games at about 70°C-90°C I believe - benchmarked CPU and GPU with great results i would say, no problems reported - tried solutionfinding with the reliability monitoring consulting each crash one by one - did a RAM check with USB in BIOS (no failure message) What I use: - Windows 11 Pro 24H2 - Intel Core i7 13700KF - Asus Prime Z790-P - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti - 2x CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 32GB - Be Quiet Straight Power 10 (500W) - Samsung SSD 990 PRO 1TB - ST100DM003-1ER162 - 4 cooling fans, 3 housing and 1 being attached to a BeQuiet Pure Rock Slim cooling tower I would really appreciate any help. I spent a lot of saved money on the specs and i really do not want to buy new stuff. I havent sent in either GPU nor CPU for maintenance checks, i believe im still in warranty. best regards,
thanks a lot for your fast answer! i will change it now and share the results later!
I have a new power supply, but it isn't working well. There are 4 crashes every 30 minutes. That's not good at all.
If you decide to go faster (overclock), just turn it off. Reset all settings back to normal. It's too hot right now. Did you check if your computer fan or heat sink is actually attached correctly to the CPU?
I haven't done any extra tweaking and my cooling setup is all set up right: /
This means you have to take off the plastic wrap covering the part where two coolers connect. Make certain that the cooler sticks firmly in place, so it's tight and not just feeling good with a little room between them.
