Occasional game freezes and a single PC shutdown are both signs of underlying issues.
Occasional game freezes and a single PC shutdown are both signs of underlying issues.
I recently added two more DIMMs of memory to my PC, matching the type I already owned. Since then, I've experienced random game crashes—including one crash just a minute ago—in the game I play, DCS World. I checked possible reasons and it seems to be a hardware problem, usually linked to the graphics card. I don’t understand why this is happening, but I’ve noticed that after building the PC, the motherboard sometimes shows a red light indicating the graphics card isn’t working properly. This hasn’t been an issue before, so it might not be the cause. I’m unsure if anyone can help, but if you have any suggestions, it would be great.
