New PC causes crashes in nearly all games. GPU issue? Yet HOTS functions!
New PC causes crashes in nearly all games. GPU issue? Yet HOTS functions!
Here is the rewritten version of your text:
I wanted to inform you all that, based on my initial thoughts, the issue seemed to lie with the GPU. The service center informed me about a defect in the GPU, and when they tested the games using another 3060TI, everything worked fine. My PC is expected to arrive soon. Thank you all for your guidance.
I recently received a new PC and monitor on Monday:
- RTX 3060 Ti
- Ryzen 5 360
- 1 TB SSD
- WD Blue SN57
- RAM: 8 GB, 1600 MHz, x2
- Monitor: Asus TUF Gaming Monitor (VG259QR, 24.5" IPS LCD)
- Power Supply: QGC-GPM-700w, -80°C
- Operating System: Windows 11
- Links: [Windows 11](https://ibb.co/rf0KvrN), [CPU-Z stats](https://ibb.co/g7QFDZB), [BIOS #1](https://ibb.co/6YPbZrb), [BIOS #2](https://ibb.co/6YPbZrb), [Cyberpunk 2077 screenshots](https://ibb.co/WKn03LV), [Planetside2](https://ibb.co/5x3mjFV), [Divinity 2](https://ibb.co/yVDd4J0)
The problem is: I can't play at least three games I bought this PC for—Cyberpunk 2077, Planetside 2, and Divinity 2. The crash time may differ, but usually I can't even reach the main menu of a game.

I've attempted reinstalling NVIDIA drivers in various ways—new, old, clean setup—but nothing helped. Checked for overclocking on the GPU; it seems fine (no overclock detected).

I've tried almost every solution related to the crashes these three games caused, and nothing resolved it. I'm running out of ideas, not even an advanced user anymore after three days. The PC is still sealed by the manufacturer, so I can't inspect the internal components. Sending it back to the maker seems like a last option.
