Multiple Games Crashing and I have no Idea Why...
Multiple Games Crashing and I have no Idea Why...
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, focusing on clarity and detail:
This document details troubleshooting steps for a computer experiencing crashes. The system is running Windows 10 with an Intel Core i5-7600K CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 GPU, and B250 PC MATE motherboard. It has 2x8GB DDR4 2400MHz Corsair RAM, a WD 10EZEX HDD, and a Sandisk SDSSDA240G SSD. Peripherals include a Razer BlackWidow Chroma keyboard and a Razer Deathadder Elite mouse.
Initial diagnostics have been conducted, including multiple system checks, but no hardware issues have been identified. However, the user suspects dust buildup within the case may be contributing to instability.
A potential cause has been identified: poor cable management leading to an open case side panel.
I find it odd actually, if the report is accurate your core only running at 40-45'c while gaming, it should be much higher, also noticed that the utilization of the cores are less than 30%, like your system was idle waiting for your hard drive to do something.
So when you run HWINFo64 on your system, and not run any games on it does your SENSOR mode look like this ? or does your system crash, I am wondering, if your ram or your video card could be at fault.
Below is my system running sensor mode and as you see colollumns of minimum and max (running a game at the time I snaped the image and I have a 8700k/16GB/RTX2600 water cooled. note fans changed speed, and cpu temps.
First thing I see is the cooler master 212 on a 7600K , which I will assume you are overclocking.
Second I see you have a GTX970, are you overclocking this as well ?
Games will commonly crash if either CPU or GPU overheat, its to protect themselves.
Have you tried to run HWINFO64 (download from
HWINFO Web Site
) run it in sensor mode only. leave it in background (if you have single monitor) and run your game until it crashes, then go look at your maximum column for CPU and GPU temps. what are the numbers reported, also pay attention to the FAN speeds reported at the maximum temp for both, it could be a fan that isn't working properly as well.
Check and report back will ya?
I don't have anything overclocked but I will definitely try this
Here’s the rewritten text:
I received a document after running hte game and HWINFO. The game froze several times and then crashed. A key observation was the Virtual Memory Load reaching 99.9% at one point, but I may have missed something. Other games also crash, so this isn't an isolated issue. If needed, I can test these games as well.
I had a similar problem where any game was randomly crashing to desktop with no errors also got alot of bluescreens.
Found 2 problems to fix:
1: Check every cable connection in your PC.
2: run windows optional features and enable legacy-components, expand this and also enable directplay
This worked for me.
Here’s the rewritten text, aiming for clarity and flow:
“Could there be an issue with my system’s sensors? I'm running HWINFO64 without playing games, and it shows very low CPU core utilization – less than 30%. It feels like the system is idling instead of actively processing. To investigate, I’m wondering if a problem with my RAM or graphics card might be causing this. Specifically, when I run HWINFO64, does the sensor mode display columns of minimum and maximum values (as it would while running a game)? Or does the system crash? My current setup is an 8700k CPU with 16GB of RAM and an RTX 2600 graphics card, all water-cooled. I’ve noticed fan speeds fluctuating and corresponding changes in CPU temperatures when running games, which suggests the system is responding to the load. I'm hoping to determine if a hardware fault is responsible for these low utilization readings.”
Yup, my sensor screen looks like that. It may be a problem with the hard drives, I've done a memory test and that has seemed to come up fine. Do you have an idea how to test my harddrives? My boot drive is my ssd with my os on it and just like 1 program. The hdd is most of my stuff
depending on your ssd make they usualy have a test software tro see if it is that, you can try CrystalInfo but that isn't much of a diag software but if errors where reported you might see them

I would run a defrag program in SSD mode for your drive then normal for your HDD, SSD open will take overnight. also when is the last time you cleaned your registry files?
