PC crashes during gameplay and fails to launch games from Steam.
I recently assembled my first PC. The CPU is an i9-1300k, the GPU is a 4070 with three trio coolers, and it uses an Ek nucleus AIO trio. The RAM is a 32GB DDR5 6000MHz module on a z790 Edge motherboard with an SSD. The power supply is a Thermaltake GF3 Snow Edition 1200W, and the Wi-Fi is via an SSD. After updating drivers and installing software, I played Fortnite and it ran well for about two weeks. Then I tried Apex on Steam, but it wouldn’t boot and froze. During Fortnite matches, it would crash randomly, though I could complete a whole match before freezing. My temperatures are normal. Could you check my RAM for issues? Might be a problem with the graphics card? I’m new to this and following many YouTube tutorials.
Apex features a strong anti-cheat mechanism that can sometimes lead to system freezes. Have you attempted removing Apex and Easy Anti-Cheat from your setup? If not, consider performing stability checks on your machine to identify potential issues. OCCT serves as a reliable testing framework for evaluating CPU and memory performance. GPU assessments are feasible but less optimal; initially focus on CPU and memory tests. Should there be no conflicts or detected errors, proceed with additional evaluations to uncover other possible causes.
