Several games are frequently freezing and returning to the main screen after a short period of gameplay.
Several games are frequently freezing and returning to the main screen after a short period of gameplay.
Greetings, this is my initial post on this platform.
I recently purchased a new computer during Black Friday (November 2018) and assembled the following:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X at 4.2 GHz
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC with 11GB GDDR5X memory
Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming motherboard
G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3200 PC4-25600 16GB (2x8GB) CL16
Phanteks Eclipse P400S case
Corsair RM750X V2 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular power supply
A 480GB SSD and a 1TB HDD
HP Omen 27” 1440p 144Hz G-Sync monitor
Initially, everything functioned correctly; however, I subsequently observed that certain games would freeze and occasionally produce BSOD errors, particularly Forza Horizon 4. After researching extensively across various online forums, I determined to replace the RAM because it wasn't included in the official motherboard compatibility list and acquired this:
G.Skill FlareX DDR4 3200 PC4-25600 16GB (2x8GB) CL14
Prior to installing the new RAM, I utilized a memory calculator to assess the situation, as I suspected a potential RAM issue, but I desired a 3200MHz configuration and was unable to achieve it with the original RAM.
Following the RAM replacement, I ceased experiencing BSOD errors and some games stopped crashing; however, occasional crashes persisted in Forza Horizon 4 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I considered the possibility of an issue within the game itself and began playing League of Legends frequently, which has not caused any crashes. Other games that have remained stable since the RAM replacement include: Rainbow Six Siege, My Time at Portia, Monster Hunter World, and Path of Exile.
Today, I installed the Anthem demo and encountered two crashes to the desktop, which suggests a problem beyond game-related causes when it occurs with such frequency.
My question is: what is the source of this issue? Which of my components might be defective? Or perhaps are there incorrect settings?... I generally cap most games at 60fps using Rivatuner or Nvidia Inspector except for LoL and R6, which I cap at 140fps; when playing a game, the only running background program is Discord, and I do not utilize overlays.
Another update, just runned prime95 Small FFTs for 36 minutes, did 9 test and got 0 errors. So, i can perform stress tests of cpu, gpu and ram and get 0 errors but then play a game and get a crash after 15-20min
