PC freezes without a BSOD.
PC freezes without a BSOD.
I've been using my PC for three years, only updating the GPU last year and the RAM a bit earlier this year. There have been no problems playing games or doing anything significant, but after Monster Hunter: Wilds was released, I started experiencing issues. The first day I played it all day without any trouble. However, I began noticing a hard freeze, which forces me to press the power button repeatedly to turn off and restart the system.
I have the most recent BIOS updates, I don’t overclock anything, XMP is enabled but nothing else.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
PSU: CORSAIR HX1000 Power Supply - 80 PLUS Platinum
Is this the model you're using?

Are you operating with a unit this size? 3 years old?
RAM: 64 gig DDR4 3200 G.Skill Ripsaw
You mentioned DDR4-3200MHz, but your screenshot from HWInfo indicates DDR4-3600MHz. Are you using two RAM kits? Could you share a link to your RAM setup?
The problem appears only in
Monster Hunter: Wilds?
I've only updated the GPU last year.
Have you run DDU in Safe Mode to eliminate all GPU drivers (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) before replacing the GPU and installing the newest driver from Nvidia's support site? Please do so via an elevated command—Right click installer > Run as Administrator?
Yes the PSU is the one that came with the system, I bought it from IBUYPower.
Here's the like to the RAM I did buy. and that is installed in the system.

As for when the WHEA happens, yes it only happens in Monster Hunter: Wilds. Other info that may be relevant or not, the monitor I use is a Samsung Odyssey G9, but I don't game in full screen, I do windowed mode in 1920x1080 while I also have Discord up on one side of the screen, and Firefox on the other and what ever game I'm playing in the middle.
Also as I run the game, I do have temp gauges up and none seem to reach 70c on both the CPU and GPU.
I have run DDU, not when I got the 4060ti but recently after I did have the first or second WHEA crash as for running it as Administrator I did not do that.
