Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my new PC. It's got top-tier components like the 4090, 7950X, 32GB DDR5 RAM, etc. Games usually crash after about 10 to 15 minutes of playtime, except for League of Legends. I've tried different games from various developers and had no issues with memory tests or benchmarks. Windows installs are fresh, temperatures stay under 60°C. I'm still trying to figure out what's causing the crashes. Some games affected include Horizon Zero Dawn, Division 2, Watchdogs 2, and a few others I don't recall. GPU drivers are up to date, and the BIOS matches mine exactly—except for my 7700X build. We're completely stuck.

Verify the PCIe configuration in the BIOS settings. You may need to adjust it to Gen 4. Also, confirm whether the 4090 is connected directly to the motherboard or via a riser.

He'll check PCIe compatibility, though he's confident it's configured for Gen 4. The GPU is plugged straight into the motherboard.

Also noticed that others solved the problem by using GeForce Experience to tweak the game settings and start it. Your friends might have different outcomes, but it’s definitely worth a shot.

PCIe confirmed on gen 4, he has a strong dislike for GeForce experience but will run it with him. Thanks for the reply!
