Question My PC Shuts Down during RDR2 Gameplay
Question My PC Shuts Down during RDR2 Gameplay
CPU model: R5 5600x
Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
Motherboard: B450m MSI PRO-VDH-MAX
Memory: Two sets of 2x8gb G.Skill Ripjaws 3600 cl16-19-19-39
Storage: One Crucial P3 Plus 1tb, one PNY CS900 1tb
GPU: XFX 6950xt
Power supply: 1000w G1 EVGA
Case: SAMA IM01 mATX
Operating system: Windows 11
Monitor: BIOS version 7A38vBP1
The PSU age is included separately from its brand and model. The BIOS version for your motherboard is currently available.
The error message I receive is "Whea Logger event id 18" on various processor cores. It usually crashes after about 5 minutes, though sometimes it lingers longer or ends earlier. I've tested running the game with the default BIOS and still experienced crashes. Using only two RAM sticks from the same set didn't help either. Every other game runs smoothly even when XMP is enabled.
I've completed several stress tests such as Prime95, OCCT, MemTest86, TestMem 5 Anta77 Extreme, 3DMark, and FurMark. I've returned my CPU and one RAM module to confirm they function properly. I also adjusted the voltage settings slightly and changed the LLC mode to 3, but none of these changes resolved the issue.
When I say my PC crashes, I mean it shuts down abruptly and restarts without warning. I've played this game for a year and now desperately need someone to help me get it running again.

Use DDU to uninstall all GPU drivers (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then reboot, and finally install the newest GPU driver from AMD's support site via an elevated command—Right click installer > Run as Administrator.

Do you have a link to this kit you’re using?
I've already installed drivers using DDU. The Amazon link is provided here:

I purchased the PSU used and made sure it wasn't in eco mode. I don't know how long the previous owner had it, but I've kept it for about a year.

Event viewer error: Whea Logger event id 18 on various processor cores. Crash typically lasts around 5 minutes, sometimes longer or earlier. I've tested with default BIOS and still experienced crashes. Used two RAM sticks together and it still fails. Every other game runs smoothly even with XMP enabled. Completed stress tests like Prime95, OCCT, MemTest86, TestMem 5 Anta77 Extreme, 3DMark, and FurMark. I've returned the CPU and one RAM set via RMA, confirming they function correctly. Tried adjusting voltage settings slightly and disabling PBO with LLC in mode 3, but nothing resolved the issue. When I say my PC crashes, it means it shuts down abruptly and restarts randomly. I've also used DDU before, but the game still doesn't launch. I have the most recent BIOS and drivers installed. I've played this game for a year and am hoping someone can assist me.
You're familiar with 'Whea Logger event id 18' and have attempted several solutions. I checked for additional fixes, but it seems you'll need to continue testing until you identify the cause of your problem. Running the Relability monitor and reviewing the details might provide further clarity.
