PC crashes because of RAM issues, but only during gameplay?
PC crashes because of RAM issues, but only during gameplay?
So to confirm it wasn't a GPU problem, I performed Furmark's test for roughly four hours. When I returned to my room, I expected a crash but instead the system was still operating smoothly, reaching up to 65ºC and maintaining 98% performance. By examining the event viewer, I discovered the crashes were linked to error 28—a relatively mild issue that doesn’t indicate a critical failure. It seems to be triggered by an external USB device, even though I had identical hardware for years without any issues. I disconnected all USBs except the keyboard and mouse, and playing CS didn’t cause any crashes during about four hours. Recently, as I connected more devices while playing CS in short intervals, my computer has remained stable. I’ll update if it experiences a BSOD again!
Sometimes it's just a random thing, right? Hope you're still playing calmly
Hey, it keeps happening. I really don’t know what to do except take it to a repair shop. I managed to capture a picture of the error Apex displays before the system crashes. This issue appears occasionally (after closing the program, my PC still shuts down completely). Other times everything seems to stop working—first the peripherals, then the apps, and finally the desktop background turns gray, leaving me with a completely gray screen that won’t respond. Sometimes it just triggers a BSOD. Interestingly, the USB error 28 is no longer shown in the event viewer. Now I see errors like 2, 3, 1101, 41, 161, and 6008. It’s become my usual starting point for crashes. I’m really confused.
