My computer games are frequently freezing.
My computer games are frequently freezing.
I frequently experience crashes in Skyrim when running it with maximum graphics settings, typically occurring within a few minutes. However, I rarely encounter crashes when playing on the lowest setting. Recently, I acquired a new graphics card—a GTX 1050 Ti—and prior to that, I was able to play Portal smoothly on low settings, though with some occasional frame rate dips, without any crashes. What’s behind this issue?
Intel i5-9600k processor with six cores, NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti graphics card, 8 GB of RAM (Ripjaw), Gigabyte Z390 UD motherboard, TR2 600W power supply from Thermaltake.
A user, hdaniel1058, is experiencing frequent crashes while playing Skyrim at high graphics settings, but the game runs without issue on lower settings. They recently upgraded their graphics card to a GTX 1050 Ti, and prior to that, they could play Portal on low settings with occasional frame drops but no crashes. They are seeking assistance in identifying the cause of the problem.
Another user, drivinfast247, suggested checking if outdated graphics drivers have been removed and updated to the latest version using the Envida Experience application. However, they are encountering issues with the application, as it repeatedly fails to locate drivers and prevents them from modifying settings despite attempts to update.
