Many CTDs across various games
Many CTDs across various games
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,
Looks like a classic case of an underpowered PSU.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti & 4060 Graphics Cards
New ways to create & much more.

Swap for a stronger, quality PSU and you should be okay.
Failure likely happening when GPU is straining the PSU under a heavy sustained load, like when gaming.
Thank you very much for your prompt response!
I will change it and share the results!
Also, halt overclocking and reset all settings to their standard values. Your temperatures are elevated. Are you confident the CPU cooler is correctly installed?
This involves taking off the plastic covering from the cooler's mating area on several models and ensuring it is firmly secured rather than just loosely placed.
