PC Crashes While Gaming
PC Crashes While Gaming
Do you have OpenGL enabled or disabled in your drivers? For older titles it's often a crash prevention setting, but newer games may crash under stress, so you're likely dealing with performance issues. First, run memtest x64 for at least eight passes, doing it overnight. Under heavy CPU load and video testing for four hours in parallel, there might be PSU limitations—just a slight overload around 3x peak demand.
You can verify OpenGL availability by running a simple check in your application or terminal. Look for a command like `glxinfo | grep OpenGL` or similar, which will confirm if OpenGL is enabled. For extended testing, consider using a dedicated benchmarking tool or writing a script that runs longer sessions without crashing.
I verified it on another GPU, which resolved the problem, indicating it was a defective GPU. Thank you for your assistance!
