Many games experience frequent crashes.
Many games experience frequent crashes.
For various reasons, my PC experiences frequent crashes while playing games. Occasionally it brings up the desktop, sometimes it restarts, and there was a BSOD once. The issue appears to be tied to graphics performance. Crashes tend to occur when games become overly detailed—such as with excessive battles, crowds, explosions, or large maps. Another factor is that certain titles like CS2 or War Thunder cause more crashes when I lower the graphics settings to their minimum. At first, I suspected it was related to newer GPU-intensive games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 and Oblivion Remastered, but even older games such as Far Cry 5 and Far Cry Primal also crash. It seems my system is capable of running most of these titles smoothly, especially CS2, War Thunder, Far Cry 5, and Far Cry Primal at high settings. I’ve confirmed my system meets the recommended requirements. Here are my specs:
- AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Gaming CPU
- ASRock BGS0M PG Lightning WiFi AMS Micro ATX Board
- MSI GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12G VENTUS 2X OC GDDR6X
- DeepCool AG400 Digital Plus CPU Cooler
- Corsair VENGEANCE RGB 16GB DDR4 6000MHz x2 (32GB total)
- Kingston Fury Renegade 2TB Gen 4 PCle NVMe M.2 SSD
- Corsair RM750x SHIFT 750W 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
- Philips Evnia 27M2N5500 27" 2K QHD 180Hz Gaming Monitor
- APOLLO 1120F/1120 1200VA Offline UPS
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 (build-19044.6093)
I also adjusted my Windows 10 settings—disabled UAC, used Defender via scripts, and limited certain features with O&O Shutup 10++. Despite these changes, the crashes persist. My PC is relatively new, and the issues started when it was only a few months old but remains fairly recent.
I don’t have the games installed yet. The dump files were examined using BlueScreenView and saved as a text file. Here’s the list: Crashes.txt
Based on the crash dump files, several of the errors point toward memory-related issues, especially the MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED errors. These often happen when RAM is unstable, even if everything else looks fine. 1st most important step is: Download MemTest86 and create a bootable USB stick from their official site. Then restart your PC and boot from the USB with MemTest86 Once it starts, just let the test run overnight > it’s a long test, but it’s important to do at least 4 full passes. If you see even one single error, your RAM is unstable and likely the main cause of your crashes. If the RAM turns out to be physically fine, we’ll continue troubleshooting other possible causes. also share original dump file, I am using windbg
I’ll work on it tonight and share the outcomes. I also asked ChatGPT to help me understand how to examine crash dumps, and it suggested it could relate to an issue with my drivers.
I don't have access to the dump files, but you can let me know if you need help with anything else.
The incident occurred within Windows memory handling, as the system attempted to release memory allocated for Counter-Strike 2. It invoked internal cleanup routines such as MiDereferenceIoPages and MiDeletePteRun, but something failed during execution. This type of failure typically arises when RAM stability is compromised. The kernel responded with a BSOD because it couldn’t manage the situation. It doesn’t seem to be a driver-related issue, so I’ll review the additional dump files for confirmation. Starting an overnight MemTest86 session appears to be the initial action.
